postfix - mail directory

Hi,

I just installed Postifx, Courier, Mysql, and postfixadmin according to this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto. Everything seams to be fine except for postfixamdin taking a very long time to send mail and create virtual accounts. I figure this is because there are some wrong settings that won't allow one of the mail server components to write an email to disk or create the appropriate file folder.

In /etc/postfix/main.cf the virutal mailbox is pointing too /home/vmail which I created and gave it chmod 777.
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail

In the same config file I also have the following assigned variable.
myorigin = /etc/mailname

I checked /var/mail/computername and ~/Maildir but neither show my messages.

Every user I created with postfixadmin shows in the Mysql database including domains and aliases.

Just the mail is not being saved.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Carl
