Include the error message from the maillog. Oki I'm checking that: it seems that sm (sendmail) is used... Did you upgrade postfix when you moved from linux to freebsd? Maybe your configuration is no longer current and should be updated. I've not setup my postfix yet: generally I setup fetchmail+procmail first (to test my regexp and update the procmailrc file) and then I setup my postfix as a simple relay to send mail via the smtp server of my provider for example. Do you think that my problem comes from a misconfiguration in the original sendmail config? I never use sendmail and on this box i never edit any sendmail file... Not a misconfig, by default sendmail on freebsd only delivers to local users. If the user is not a local user it should respond with an error like that. Could be that this is the problem. I think I would work the other way arround, get postfix fired up to do the mail delivery you want. Oki I configure my postfix and tell u the result asap. For me the user is a local one...Should I remove sendmail or sth? It seems to be used by default so...

Yes I'm an early freebsd user (I use it since one year more or less) Did you add the user? can you login as that user? I can login with that user and I add it If you pasted the user info into master.passwd then you need run pwd_mkdb to update the db files. If you pasted into passwd, then that's not the way to do it. Use pw(8) to add users and keep files correctly updated. You set hostname in rc.conf.

I read all the mails I receive from the system and I could see that on this box my_user is...unknown so I can't having those mails in a normal way.
