The /var/log/maillog says nothing, it only shows the pop3 connection from 2
minutes ago. I also tried the telnet approach and it does not want to
accept a message from te...@mydomain.com to te...@mydomain.com. It says that
mydomain.com doesn't exist? but when I type mydomain.com in it accepts it
just fine.
another small question. Does smtp from a pop3 client and from a mailserver
on the other site of the world get handled the same way by the local mail
server?

ok that's fixed. but now it just says "An unknown error has occurred"
When and where do you get this message?
Can you post some of the /var/log/maillog, it should have some more
information, as well.. Did you print and read the install file? I know it
sounds stupid but courier is very low level controlled.. There isn't a easy
interface for it but it is a great mail server.
If you are getting into the mail server admin world take some time to learn
how to connect to the mail server and test using telnet. If you look under
google for "smtp telnet" you should see some instructions This will let you
rule out the client if you still have problems.
