Hello all,
I am a newbie... I have installed Ubuntu server 8.0.4 and had no problem with the installation. The web server and webmin work flawlessly.
I also installed Postfix for a mail server. I have a good MX record at my ISP, I can send out through the internet but when I receive mail (internet or local) it just hangs in the queue. In other words it won't delivery it to the mailbox directories for the users.
I have been through my config file several times but being a newbie I can't find my mistake.
could the problem be the mailbox command?

Hi and welcome to Ubuntu;)

I've found a Postfix page on the community documentation site:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix

This might help you solve your problem.

If you want to learn more about your new system and how to take advantage of it, I'd suggest reading up bit on the terminal and Ubuntu/linux in general.

There are very informative links available if you click the "Look here" link in m signature below.

Hope this helps,

Z.
