I have installed Virtualmin on a clean Ubutnu 8.04 installation, using the GPL install script.
Created 1 virtual server, which has 1 user (default access to ftp etc)
I am able to fetch mail using IMAP/POP fine using the user credentials, but when trying to connect to send mail using OE the client times-out after 60 seconds (prompts to continue waiting or stop). Happens when trying to use SSL or non-SSL.
mail.log on the server shows the following…
2 vm3014 postfix/smtpd[24042]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory

Am able to talk to the server now, but am getting the following logged…

Am getting through to the server now, but the user is unable to authenticate. The username and password is definitely right (works for IMAP/POP3), and I’ve tried changing it. Also tried restarting postfix and saslauthd - no luck
mail.log…

Is it usually this difficult? I was hoping the install script would take care of everything (obviously I’m a bit of a newbie to virtual servers & mail!)
