Hello,

I've been evaluating your product for a pro subscription but I cannot get it to work.
After a simple installation I am receiving the following error when I try to send an email.

Any thoughts?

Re: Error reading configuration: Invalid settings: postmaster_address

Comment out "postmaster_address =" settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and restart dovecot service should fix this issue.

Which version of Dovecot are you running? Please show us output of command:

doveconf -n | head

Thanks for your reply.
The postmaster_address setting was already commented out (in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf).

Still no joy.

iRedMail uses only /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, please check "postmaster_address" in dovecot.conf instead.
Note: it may contain 2 "postmaster_address" in dovecot.conf.
