Yesterday I managed to mess some things up on my webmin/virtualmin server.
End result is I have an email problem now.
The normal scenario:
A domain in virtualmin is used to fetchmail on a 3 minute schedule from an outside email provider. About 75 accounts.
The mail is spamfiltered delivered to the appropriate mailbox.
Inside clients (Outlook) collect mail from their virtualmin boxes.
Been working without a hitch for about 3 months since we purchased Virtualmin. This is all done to have configurable spam filtering. Virtualmin works terrificaly for this.
Yesterday. Thinking I was on a different server. I inadvertently partially installed an lxadmin script. I know, how dumb can you be... QMail was at least partially installed.
I have restored the Virtualmin generated backup from the previous day but the problem remains.
Irregardless, the problem is the fetch mail app will not connect to the Postfix server. Heres a failed fetchmail run:

As you can see authentication and everything else is just fine except the hand off to Postfix. I'm at a loss where to go.
