I added the user to that but the emails are still getting rejected. I was told I need to add new user's short name to the domain user's file and restart the postfix process. But I have no clue how too. Thanks anyway.

add the user into you access.db

i think its in /etc/mail, vi the file called access, put the username or e-mail address of the user on a line followed by RELAY or ACCEPT

rebuild the access.db by renaming it to something (ie access.db1) then type make

When i goto the vi access.db it just shows a bunch of blue lines everywhere

I was told I had to goto /etc/postfix/virtual_domains add the user but use postmap? Any ideas???

nah, i meant 'vi /etc/mail/access' not the db bit, vi can't handle the output

sorry for not being clear

i shall hang my head in shame

I opened it and it just gave me instructions? A format of Postfix access table. But none of it makes any sense to me.
