Error is error log

Thanks for that.
Yes, I have the location /kolab/var/imapd/spool/domain/testsite.co.uk/user/denis/ and that is where I was expecting the emails to be stored.
I have a log of /kolab/var/postfix/log/postfix.log
Could the error be because I am running the fetchmail as user "root" and not "kolab" ?

Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command))
When the user exists because the user has outlook data stored in it via the "Toltec connector" and below is the users directory.

Thanks

On my MandrakeLinux system (your system may differ) the mails are stored in /var/spool/imap/user/username so your should be /var/spool/imap/user/denis
Each mail has a file, the file name being a number followed by a dot, eg 1. 2. 3. and so on. These files are plain text so if you run the command
less /var/spool/imap/user/username/1.
less will display the text of the mail, complete with headers.
What you should see in the log is "status=sent" instead of "status=bounced" so I imagine there must be something in the log to say what's happened. On MandrakeLinux 10.0 Official the logs seem to be combined. For me to see what's happening to the mail, where it's getting sent to/bounced etc. I use the following command (the location of your logs may differ):
tail -f /var/log/mail/info
That command is what I found the most useful.
Hope this helps
Stephen

The user exists.
I have added the alias and not no error, but no mail in the postfix log either, where is the e-mail stored ?
***** Main.cf ******
# local host
myhostname = office.testsite.co.uk
mydomain = testsite.co.uk
myorigin = $myhostname
#
masquerade_domains = $mydomain
masquerade_exceptions = root
# smtp daemon
#smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name
#inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
# relaying
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.0.0/24
mydestination = $mydomain localhost.$mydomain office.$mydomain
***************main.cf.template**********************
# relaying
mynetworks = @@@postfix-mynetworks@@@
mydestination = @@@postfix-mydestination@@@ localhost.$mydomain office.$mydomain
relay_domains =
Thanks

Have a look at your main.cf and main.cf.template files to ensure that on the mydestination line contains office.testsite.co.uk and I presume you have an account or an alias called denis.
The second way you can capture these, which I forgot to put in my previous mail, is to add some entries to your virtual.template file (again mine is located in /etc/kolab)
In my file I have added the following lines:
s.hind at rwp.co.uk stephenh
s.hind at learning-partners.org.uk stephenh
This means any mail to the above addresses will get transferred to the Kolab IMAP server and deposited in my stephenh account, rather than relayed to the internet or bounced.
Hope this helps

Thanks for that.
I have now tried that and am now getting the following error !
May 21 13:32:56 testsite <info> postfix/lmtp[23299]: 3147EB5C04B: to=<denis at office.testsite.co.uk>, relay=/kolab/var/kolab/lmtp[/kolab/var/kolab/lmtp], delay=0, status=bounced (host /kolab/var/kolab/lmtp[/kolab/var/kolab/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command))
Any clue as to why ?
Thanks
Denis
I had this problem and overcame it!
If you're trying to receive mail like someone at testsite.co.uk then you need to set your Email domain to testsite.co.uk
If you're trying to receive mail like someone at localhost.co.uk then you need to set your Email domain to loclahost.testsite.co.uk
If you want to receive mail for both those addresses, there are two ways of achieving this, but neither can be implemented using the Web Front-End:
Method 1: Edit the main.cf.template file in (mines located in /etc/kolab yours may differ as I use the MandrakeLinux version) and add to the end of the line:
mydestination = @@@postfix-mydestination@@@
any host name you want postfix to respond to eg:
mydestination = @@@postfix-mydestination@@@ respond.to.this.hostname respond.to.another.hostname
As far as I can see the web front-end does not let you do this. It would be good to know if there are any plans to do so?
