hello everybody..

Courier+mysql just installed..but cannot receive messages. both connection (POP3, SMTP) seem to be OK. here my last log: I cannot understand how to fix the MX error, which I suppose is the main problem..

The domain pc-0004.localarea is not defined as a local domain in Courier. So, Courier concludes that it's a remote domain and tries to deliver the mail via SMTP, at which point it is discovered that the MX record for "pc-0004.localarea" points to the same machine that Courier is running on.

Therefore, there's nowhere to deliver this mail. This is not a local domain, but the MX records point to the same machine.
