    Which Linux distribution do you use?
    Which username do you use in outlook? It must have the form web1_user.
    Do you get any errors in your mail logfile in the directory /var/log/ ?

    I'm currently using Linux Fedora 4. I have created few test user like web1_test, web1_admin, and web1_jegan. In OE, i define the account name as [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]. What is d correct configuration in email account properties?? And how should i check the error log in /var/log/ ???

    The user name in OE should be web1_test, web1_admin, web1_jegan, ...
    Make sure you enable "Server needs authentication." in your email account settings in OE, otherwise you won't be allowed to send emails!

    Hello,

    I have followed the steps and installed the latest ISPConfig. Create an e-mail account for myself. I am having problem sending e-mail using any e-mail client (receive works fine). .Sending and receiving using webmail works. I used outlook as well as Thunderbird. On thunderbird set the Use Secure connection: TLS if available . When trying to send the e-mail the Status display show " delivering mail" and then get an error message "Resonse received is 554: <[email protected]>: Relay access denied consult the online help for your e-mail program.."

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thanks,
    piyo

    You have to enable something like "Server requires authentication." for that account in your email client, then it will work.

    I noticed one more thing. The mail that sent using outlook appears in the /home/www/Sent Item file.

    thanks,

    I thought you couldn't send emails with Outlook?

    Are you using the correct username and password in Outlook?

    Yes. I am using the web1_username and the correct password. The mail that I send with outlook appears in the /home/www/Sent Item file. But it doesn't go out to the recipient.

    Thanks,
    Piyo

    If you get any mail in "/home/www/Sent Item" this cant be an ISPConfig configuration or a user created by ISPConfig taht was not modified manually.

    Do you use pop3 or imap in Outlook. Wich messages do you get in the mail loigifile, when you send a message in outlook.

    I use imap in outlook. Now I am having problem receiveing e-mail after rebooting the server. The mail is getting delivered to the procmail and is available in the direacory /home/www/web1/Maildir/new, but webmail or the outlook client does not receive it.

    Which pop3 and imap daemon do you use?

    Mails are are being delivered in the inbox (webmail/outlook)after a long delay(few hours). But the received mail shows up in the /home/www/web1/user/web1_user1/Maildir/new immediately. Still cannot send e-mail from outlook but can send from webmail.

    I think I am using courier-imap / courier-pop3. I do not know how to check this. I have selected MailDir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.


    Thanks,

    Can you run
    Code:
    telnet localhost 25
    and then issue
    Code:
    ehlo localhost
    as described at the bottom of http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0_p4? What's the output?

    You can check that with
    Code:
    netstat -tap

    Ok, you're not using Courier which means you have to disable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email!

    OK I did that and now receive mail works fine.However, I would liike to use the MailDir. How can I use Courier POP/IMAP?

    Still cannot send mail from outlook, maillog doesn't show anything about sending a mail. where can i look for any smtp log?

    Thanks,
    Piyo
