Let me try to pinpoint the problem: * You've installed MySQL, Postfix, Dovecot? * MySQL is used for virtual users/domains? * You've set up Postfix and Dovecot to work with the MySQL DB? * You've sent /locally/ (i.e., on the server) a test using mail or mailx to one of the users in the DB, you've checked that the mail actually arrives in the corresponding folder on the HDD, and that the logs are ok? * You've checked /locally/ (again, on the server) that POP and IMAP access to that same user work (with password auth)?
If your answer is 'yes' to all questions, then your mail server is working fine /locally/. If not, of course you'll need to fix this first. * You set up a test account using, eg, Thunderbird? * You can access the mail box via POP and IMAP? * You can send an email via SMTP? Again, if your answer is 'yes', then you have a working mail server. If not, go back and fix this first. If you still have problems with RC, then the problem is not your mail server, but your RC config. Enable the debug/log options in your config -- maybe that'll point you in the right direction. I've run into the same troubles setting up RC, so I understand how frustrating it can be, but I don't think that the RC installer is the culprit ...
