[techtalk] Mail accounts

[kath]

Been having some trouble setting up mail accounts on Debian (Being checked through IMAP w/ Outlook Express.  uw imap is the imap daemon, exim is the smtp).

We create a full blown account called "Rich.G" on mail.ourdomain.org using linuxconf, but when we try to send an email to it, we get this error sent back to us:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. The following address(es) failed:

  Rich.G at mail.ourdomain.org:
    unknown local-part "rich.g" in domain "mail.ourdomain.org"

What does that mean?  The account IS there and up.  I can connect to it via ssh and all, I just cannot send mail to it.  Any ideas?
