IMAP/POP3 problem


Here is the situation:

i have configured and internal DNS server with ahna.myftp.org domain:

# more /etc/named.conf

zone "myftp.org" {
type master;
file "myftp.zone";
};

OUTPUT TRUNCATED...

with the map file /var/named/myftp.zone, with the following configuration:

#more /var/named/myftp.zone
$TTL 86400

@ IN SOA ahna.myftp.org. root.myftp.org. (
2005061422 ;
28800 ;
14400 ;
3600000 ;
0 ) ;

@ IN NS ahna.myftp.org.

ahna.myftp.org. IN A 192.168.1.3

ahna IN A 192.168.1.3

ahna IN MX 10 192.168.1.3

then i installed postfix with the following configuration:

# more /etc/postfix/main.cf
# These are only the parameters changed from a default install
# see /etc/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, fuller version of this file.

# These are changed by postfix install script
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/samples
html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/html
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
command_directory = /usr/sbin
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix

# User configurable parameters

mynetworks_style = host
delay_warning_time = 4h
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) (Mandrakelinux)
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
smtp-filter_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
lmtp-filter_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
smtpd_sasl_path = /etc/postfix/sasl:/usr/lib/sasl2

then installed a POP3, cyrus-imapd, and fetchmail, and configured .fetchmailrc for user foo

my problem is that when i send a mail from root@ahna.myftp.org to foo@ahna.myftp.org, i can see the mail using the command line, but if i use kmail or any email client i can't get the mail.

Thnx at least for reading this

What server is the email client pointing to. It has to point to your mail server for local delivery.
