No more mails after restore from desktop

Hallo all,

SME 5.6 is installed flawlessly.

The restore from SME 5.5 is done right after this fresh install (there are several users, ibays...)

The problem: no mails could reach any recipients, and there are no errors return to senders. Through pop3 or webmail, the sme server always answers "no new messages".

Below is some lines from logfile smtpfront-qmail/current:

@400000003e37a78e33866824 smtpfront-qmail[5019]: MAIL From:<***@***.net>
@400000003e37a78e35bab8fc smtpfront-qmail[5019]: RCPT To:<***@***.ch>
@400000003e37a78e35c995ac smtpfront-qmail[5019]: bytes in: 88 bytes out: 157
@400000003e37aa090a3c8d54 smtpfront-qmail[5033]: MAIL From:
@400000003e37aa090c60dc84 smtpfront-qmail[5033]: RCPT To:<***@***.ch>
@400000003e37aa090c699acc smtpfront-qmail[5033]: bytes in: 88 bytes out: 157

It means that my server has received mails normally, does it ?

Any ideas how to fix ? Thanks in advance.

Reading the description of 5.6, it changes the mail directories.  I would try installing a fresh 5.5 server, run your 5.5 restore, then upgrade 5.5 to 5.6.

Why not run upgrade from the beginning?

Thanks Ryan,

Yeah of course it should be clever to make an upgrade :-) The harddisk had to be changed, that's why I wanted to install 5.6

News: everything is working fine now, after "reRPM" "amavis" from pagefault.org.

I didn't mention that I installed this virus scan on 5.5. Maybe it was the reason ?

Good nite.
