I cannot get postfix / dovecot to work, I am also using postfixadmin. I have tried a number of how to's, installed and reinstalled a few times but no luck so far. I am running CentOS 6.2 on a hosted VDS. I am new to postfix and dovecot, and pretty new to Linux, I used to work with it a couple of years ago and I am getting back into it now whilst working on my webserver. I yum installed both dovecot and postfix, then altered the configs to what I've listed below. I have looked at many posts about MySQL postfix connection problems but can't get the solutions to work for me. The aim is to be able to host email for multiple domains on this vds, then maybe setup another for backup mx, but I need to get this one working first ![[sad]](/data/assets/smilies/sad.gif "[sad] [sad]")
. This is a really long post with all my config info in it, but hopefully someone out there can help. TIA.
If I telnet localhost 25, I get:
then nothing. But for telnet localhost 143 (or 993) I get
Dovecot is not giving me any errors in maillog, but I am getting a few warnings for postfix which I am pretty sure is because it can't connect to MySQL:

vi /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
