This I do not have correct idea, what MDA should be here,
So I have posted my postfix main.cf file which has

biff = yes

and I configured postfix as null machine can not receive mails.

and I am using offlinemap for syning mail from gmail,its offlinemaprc I am 
pasting here
        ==========================\/==========================
        [general]
        autorefresh = 30
        accounts = Gmail
        maxsyncaccounts = 1
        
        [Account Gmail]
        localrepository = Local
        remoterepository = Remote
        
        [Repository Local]
        type = IMAP
        remotehost = localhost
        port = 143
        remoteuser = sharad
        remotepass = ********
        
        [Repository Remote]
        type = IMAP
        remotehost = imap.gmail.com
        remoteuser = address@hidden
        remotepass = ********
        ssl = yes
        maxconnections = 1
        realdelete = no
        folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['INBOX']
        
        # realdelete = no
        ==========================\/==========================

So exactly I can not say who is actually MDA here.

Yes both part already before first mail.

attaching my .biffrc

Attachment: .biffrc
Description: my biffrc

its permission is
600

I do not have biff as it conflict with mailutils-comsats in Ubuntu
so using six line biff script.

But still not able to get anything working.
