Hi,
to let you know in advance, I'm a total nooB to DA so excuse my ignorance...

I've did a new install on CentOS 5.1 x86_64
I did not get any errors and seemd install went fine...

My DNS is setup and each vHost resolves with dig as mail.vhost A records
I have run the scripts to set permissions ALL and EMAIL

I can send mail ok

I see the snips in /var/spool/virtual/<account>

For some reason the mail is not delivered into the mail box I think...

I have been at this over 2 days now...
I did several things from forums and google and nothing has werked...

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard
 
are you using DA's pop/imap or dovecot?
and are there are any processes running?
ps auxxw |grep dovecot
or
ps auuxww |grep pop

?
 
There is about 35 total

both dovecot imap-login and pop3-login

I also see 1 root /usr/local/directadmin/da-popb4smtp
and 1 pid of dovecot-auth

login via ssh to your box and do :

echo "test" |mailx -s "test" user

where user is the client's username that you use to login to da's panel as a simple user.
then check if this email has arrived..
 
no, not getting it
Richard

Tried it 2 different accounts - not getting anything
also system ADMIN will not get messages sent to inbox

but it says completed...

EDIT
I transfered backups to new install, i chown -R user:user /home/user
I have rerun scripts permissions all + email so I don't think its permissions
