    Postfix Error

    Hello, I have a ubuntu 10.0.4 email server using Postfix and Dovecot. Dovecot is configured (successfully I hope) for SSL authentication. I can connect to it from thunderbird fine (I assume as I see no errors in /var/log or thunderbird to tell me otherwise). Up until I configured it to use SSL I have been able to at least send email to the local accounts through the command line via mail-s and telnet. But now I am getting this error and the messages don't reach the inbox. Any Suggestions?

    Thanks!!!

    Re: Postfix Error

    Found the solution, at least for me anyway. I had to do an apt-get install dovecot-postfix. Once it configured itself, I was able to to do a mail -s to testit@localhost.
