Unable to get postfix to work !!!!

Hi,

On a fresh new install of Virtualmin on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I'm unable to get Postfix to work fine, neither sending neither receiving emails work :( MX is well setup in DNS ! I got bunch of these in logs but not easy to understand what to fix !! Some ideas ?

Thanks

Vincèn

Howdy,

It looks like a config option is confusing it... can you post the output of this command:

postconf -n

It tells me when I run postconf -n that I need to install postfix :( Perhaps I should go on sendmail way, as I'm lot more familiar with it :) Is there a way to change from postfix to sendmail in Virtualmin ?

Thanks,

Vincèn
