Oh, you have Sendmail running instead of Postfix. Please stop Sendmail service and start Postfix.
And, disable Sendmail service during system start up with command "update-rc.d" please.

Thank You very much for Your reply ZhangHuangbin !

But, today I totally clean reinstall Ubuntu and Iredmail.

Situation was that :
After Your answer I saw my mistake about sendmail. Next I`ve tried to start postfix, but system sad ---> postfix not installed smile
I cannot understand how it is may be. The next i`ve do apt-get install postfix, next /etc/init.d postfix start...
The system written in logs errors, I don`t remember what errors, logs I don`t saved. Next I`ve tried to repair that errors.

Simply were to do total reinstall and that`s all smile   user mails I have transferred to new system...
Thank You one more time !
