Hi all. I've setup ISPConfig on a new server using debian 4 and am having troubles sending email. I can recieve, just not send. Looking in the mail log it says: Mar 17 07:04:01 ns1 sm-mta[15430]: m2HD3vs3015419: to=<[email protected]>, ctladdr=<[email protected]> (33/33), delay=00:00:04, xdelay=00:00:03, mailer=esmtp, pri=121216, relay=missouri.worldispnetwork.com. [216.219.80.13], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: missouri.worldispnetwork.com.: No route to host So I'm wondering what no route to host means and where to start looking to fix it. I'm pretty new at this, so appreciate all help. Thanks. Mike Murphy
I tried that but no luck. I also tried sending through my isp. No luck.

Well I dont see virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable You could try Code: postconf -e 'virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable' /etc/init.d/postfix restart
OK, i deleted and reinstalled Postfix. Still won't deliver on port 587.

Maybe falko or till can help more. I was able to telnet to ports 25 and 587 Code: david@david:~$ telnet ns1.contacterz.com 587 Trying 64.110.243.2... Connected to contacterz.com.

Thanks for the help. I guess I'll wait and see if anybody else can come up with something. I think I've tried everything I can in the forum.
The best solution might be to use the smtp server of your provider as smart host instead of using another port. Please undo the port changes na dthen reconfigure your postfix as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_relaying_through_another_mailserver
You know I tried that yesterday and it didn't work. But I thought, what the heck, I'll try it again now that I reinstalled postfix and today it works. Maybe because yesterday I was missing virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable as pointed out by daveb. So thanks very much daveb and till for all the help. Mike Murphy
