Hi, all.

I have installed postfix and squirrelmail.

when i try to login to squirrelmail via web browser, error shown:

Code: 
ERROR
Error connecting to IMAP server:localhost.
61 :Connection refused


And then i check via command line:
Code: 
telnet localhost 143

Trying 127.0.0.1
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1 Connection refused.
telnet: unable to connect to remote host
what is the problems? and what should i do?

Thank you!
 
Your IMAP service isn't running or it isn't bound to localhost.

Dear SirDice, can you tell me how to running IMAP in localhost?

Because, I am newbie in FreeBSD! :)
 
Install courier-imap or any one of the cyrus-imap versions.

Or mail/dovecot, which is relatively easy. Make sure you tell it to listen on localhost in its configuration.

Thank you. Now I can access to my Squirrelmail.

But now my squirrelmail can not send/receive email, the INBOX is empty.

Here is the message in the log file:

Code: 
localhost postfix/smtp[1437] : 56D437E84D: to=<xxxxx@xxx.com> relay=none, delay=15,
 delays=0.16/0.17/15/0, dsn=4.4.4, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error
 for name=mail.xxxxx.xom type=MX:Host not found , try again)

what is the problems that persist?

Note:I use postfix for local network
 
Looks like a DNS error. Do you have a resolver set up (and working)?

Here is my /etc/recolv.conf file:
Code: 
domain xxxxxxx.com
search xxxxxxxx.com
nameserver  10.10.10.2 
nameserver  10.10.10.10

I do not know whether it is working or not? How to set up DNS?

As I mention before, I use postfix / squirrelmail for local network.
 
Are these 10.x.x.x IP addresses in a network on your server, and if so, do these DNS servers actually resolve the records you need? Post the output of [cmd=]ifconfig -a[/cmd] to begin with. If there is no 10.x.x.x network on your server, you will have to use a nameserver on a network that you do have access to (like your ISP's).

Yes, those IP's are in my network.

Here is the ifconfig -a result:
Code: 
ether 00:50:04:04:22:0a
inet 10.62.22.250 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.62.22.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier

Do these DNS servers actually resolve the records you need?
I do not know, I'm not sure. Do I have to change IP? All i want is postfix is running well on my local network. :)

Note: I do not have ISP or internet connection for my LAN network.

You are not connected to the network at all.

Sorry the cable is not correctly plugged. :)

Now status is : active.

But Error still appear, same as I mention above:

Code: 
localhost postfix/smtp[1437] : 56D437E84D: to=<xxxxx@xxx.com> relay=none, delay=15,
 delays=0.16/0.17/15/0, dsn=4.4.4, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error
 for name=mail.xxxxx.xom type=MX:Host not found , try again)
