The domain should have been created with the first command in the "Finish the Configuration" section, but it appears that command doesn't work now (if it ever did!). When I "inherited" the HOWTO from the previous maintainer it was quite out of date and I was new to XMail. In fact I had a frustrating first installation similar to your's which is what motivated me to take over and update the original HOWTO. It appears I still have quite a bit to learn and a lot of work ahead of me. Thanks for your help.
