i really tried with email....
ok so where do i start? deploying a debian install with LAMP, Postfix, Dovecot, ISPConfig among others. i have 6 databases including a roundcube database, not sure if i need another for postfix or dovecot for inbound mails.
this is the error i get from the bounce back:

after pasting that i just realized postfix has nothing to do with this problem but it may be useful, not sure
i am just not familiar with the email inbox portion of this and suspect it has to do with dovecot and quite possibly not having a database setup or dovecot not properly configured.

@dwfreed:
/etc/postfix/main.cf is where the main config is; master.cf controls the spawning of the various daemons that actually handle parts of the internal pipeline postfix uses for processing mail (both inbound and outbound). I'm not familiar with ISPConfig, but my guess is that you haven't added a mailbox for that address yet. This guide will probably be helpful:
http://docs.ispconfig.org/my-first-email/
thank you for the rapid response! i've reviewed that ISPConfig link and already have everything setup accordingly. good looking on the main config for postfix and after i quickly scanned it, i still don't see my problem:(

hostname output is duggancorp

@jeremye77:
Woops, edit, I was hasty. edit: Postfix cannot find the admin user. Check your sql query.
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "admin"
excuse my ignorance here but how do i check my sql query? i believe its possible i don't have a database setup but one would think that was done when i installed postfix?
also here is my smtp confirmation from roundcube as the

@jeremye77:
I am not sure how to ask this. Where do you think your users are coming from. Where should Postfix be looking for the admin user?

to answer you question about where the users are coming from, the answer is no i dont:oops: sorry, for the ignorance. i am thinking this setup i currently have is for a local mailbox domain server i.e. the useradmin@duggancorp.com must also be an active user added to the server itself, whereas i currently just have a root account (currently). so if im understanding what you're saying and what i've been reading i need a virtual mailbox domain properly configured to an sql database?
should i just create a database? and if so how do i point postfix to it? isn't it setup with "mysql" literally as the database now? me thinks i should have another but i really don't know. sorry again for not being totally up to speed and i much appreciate your help
i had to change the name of the host and that may have something to do with this but i dont know. not sure that ISPConfig is helping here either….
EDIT: i restarted all postfix and dovecot and checked the logs again. it appears dovecot is saying it cant login to the imap or pop3 account for
It is still available via the web archive:
Have a look through those notes and see if it helps you out. It's using plain text files for configuration of the mail server virtual users, not a database, but if you can get the system working with static text files first, moveing to a database should be a little easier. It may not be the best or most optimum way to set things up, but should give you some starter ideas, and some explanation as to why the setting are being set, rather than just a do this, then do that approach.
On another note, if hostname returned duggancorp then:
myhostname = duggancorp.duggancorp.com
mydestination = duggancorp.duggancorp.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain
assuming that duggancorp.com was your domain name.
Hope this helps, rather than confuses the issue.

Try zimbra (open source edition)
:)
https://www.zimbra.com/open-source-email-overview/
thank you for the option but negative on zimbra. i will work this out and have made huge bounds in a matter of hours. while my webmail no longer works i can confirm i can login into my email server with IMAP and SSL but sending mail is a no go. i think i need to rewire my server for a seperate email server such as imap.duggancorp.com and smtp.duggancorp.com to make this easier. i've checked the ports on my email client and everything is accurate, strange. maybe port 587 not open on my firewall?

This would probably be easier:
Replace 192.168.1.0/24 with your IP and through ip6 in should really be about all the changes you would need.
The tutorial is a couple of years old. The commands look accurate but you might have to tweak very slightly.
I cannot tell if the log is truncated or …
but it looks like your database name is blank in fatal: /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
@jeremye77:
Then get mysql out of there. It seems to confuse you. It also seems you WANT to use system accounts? Which I am unclear on. You had configured Postifx, originally to use MySQL?

no sir, i do NOT WANT to use system accounts. i thinked i fluster cucked that in the beginning and since went back to try and fix, and thats now part of the mess. mysql is good, just getting a grip on it as with nealy every piece of software ive installed on this vps
log is also half-ass trunicated, meaning i took only bits of today i thought were relevant.
@rcduggan3:
i need to re-do this with a seperate host i.e. mail.duggancorp.com
Why not use Postfix and MySQL? Works great. I can add as many users for as many domains as I see fit. It does take some administering, keep an eye on the logs, updates that might change things which really is only when a new LTS comes out. I like the raw simplicity and zero cost. I also like administering my own systems too so I guess I'm weird that way as a developer.
