Hello,

I have let a message on the group, but received no answer.

I don't understand what's the matter with Postfix.

When i create a new mail by mail command (example : mail ) and i do /usr/sbin/sendmail -q, the email is correctly sent (i have received it). Does-it mean Postfiw works ? But when i try to send emails with sylpheed or another email client, it fails. Which external program must i declare for sylpheed in order to send my emails (i have tried /usr/sbin sendmail -q, it does not work) ?

I am on a single computer at home (no local network) with club-internet provider and ADSL connection.

My login on my computer is emmanuel (i am also root) and the hostname of my computer is : localhost.club-internet.fr (before, it was localhost.localdomain but i have read somewhere on the net it was necessary to have an address with the form machin.bidule.truc, so i took club-internet.fr).
My email address is

In /etc/hosts , I have also written 127.0.0.1 localhost.club-internet.fr
localhost instead of localhost.localdomain localhost.

In /etc/postfix/canonical, I have :
# canonical_maps
# List of canonical mapping tables.
emmanuel
root

and, in /etc/postfix/main.cf, I have (I did postconf -n) :
[root at localhost emmanuel]# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
allow_percent_hack = yes
append_at_myorigin = yes
append_dot_mydomain = yes
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
defer_transports = smtp
delay_warning_time = 4
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
masquerade_domains = $mydomain
mydomain = mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.13/README_FILES
relayhost = mail.club-internet.fr
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.13/samples
sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) (Mandrake Linux)
[root at localhost emmanuel]#

So, when i try to send a message with an email client, i have plenty of error messages :

[root at localhost emmanuel]# tail /var/log/mail/info
