Hi Paul,
I got up this morning and for some reason dbmail had stopped working. I
was receiving messages from thunderbird that it could not connect to the
server. I messed around in the configure files and never could get
things going. I had learned that FC6, which I am running on my desktop,
has a rpm package for dbmail. I originally had installed dbmail with a
../configure --with-pgsql; gmake; and gmake install.
Just for the record: what version is in FC6?
I now have everything working locally, again, but still no luck with
email coming in from the WAN/Internet over port 25. I have a router on
my network that forwards ports 143 and port beginning with 24 and ending
with 25 to my desktop computer where dbmail is listing.
So check the postfix logs (/var/log/mail.log or something like that).
Perhaps your network setup is broken.
Below is the entry in my /var/log/maillog file when I send an email
locally using my desktop dbmail system:

Below is the entry in my /var/log/maillog file when I send an email form
my normal mail server using cyrus and smtp:
Whoops, nothing appear in the log file, as if postfix never received
anything. Going back to my "mailbox_transport =" entry, should it be
something like:
mailbox_transport = dbmail-lmtp:192.168.1.78:24
or should I be using port 25 here, instead of port 24?
Regards,

You don't want to forward tcp/24 from the internet to your lmtp server.
Test to make sure something is talking on tcp/25 by connecting to your
*external* ip address using a tool like telnet or netcat.
You should see a postfix reply.
