Hey! I just setup a virtualmin server and love it so far.
The only oroblem I'm having isn't the server will not accept any incoming email whatsoever. It replies back to the sender with the following message. I have made sure that mail is enabled on the domains, that the accounts in question have been created and can be accessed via webmail. These accounts are also able to send mail. The server has a FQDM and I've checked that the domain mapping lookup tables setting is set to hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
What am I missing?
This is the mail system at host latte.quacktacular.net. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message. The mail system <":fail:"@quacktacular.net> (expanded from <the@debrin.ca>): User unknown in virtual alias table
So this ended up being something to do with Virtual Domains in Postfix configuration
I have no idea what it was. I basically deleted all the virtual domains, removed the virtual server and readded it and now email is delivered. Ugh.
But you still have several problems with your DNS: http://www.intodns.com/quacktacular.net and for your email:

For SSL its ok because you are using self-signed certificate but the rest need to be sorted out. You really need to spend some time and find the solution for all this errors.

Thanks for looking into it Diabolico. I'm aware of the DNS issues, I'm in the process of migrating sites (from a pair of cPanel servers) and haven't setup my secondary DNS for Virtualmin yet (any experience with that? haha). One of the old name servers is still hooked up to ns2 so I could start bind there again if my Virtualmin box went offline.
