I can check the account with imap and thunderbird and send email to myself, but I can't seem to get email to or from the real world. That may be a problem with my ISP though. You may have better luck then me in the end. Do you have a Ubuntu forums account? If so, that would be the ideal place to try and get something working, I'm SoftwareExplorer at ubuntu forums and you could leave a comment on my page or pm me. Hi Lukas, I got it partially working.

If you haven't yet maybe we could team up and try to work it out, I'm pretty much in the same place as you! Erik, I was just wondering if you got your email figured out.

None of the tutorials worked so far, so I've installed the dovecot-postfix package, but I'm wondering what to do next. The main things I am trying to figure out are: how to add email accounts what ports need to be forwarded (I have 25 forwarded right now) what setting to use to connect a client and check the mail I have an mx record on my domain pointing to my ip, and port 25 forwarded. I'm trying to figure out what to do next. Do you have any advice or howto that I can follow that uses the dovecot-postfix package method? Thank you so much in advance.

I think it has already been implemented in virtualbox, so maybe some code is even already there.... These minutes are always much appreciated – thought it was worth saying :)

It's incredibly important for VMWare users (such as JeOS). I bet a lot of people are manually install VMWare tools causing a big mess and a lot of complication. There's even a DKMS packaged version already made, which includes many bug fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/277556 PLEASE take a look :-) Is it possible that someone on the server team would look at open-vm-tools?

It compiles fine, and even seems to install fine, but it is in fact not working, smbd and nmbd services will not start. I am using a server with Samba pre-installed on it, which I removed then tried 3.0.34, could that be the issue?
