ISPConfig, Postfix, Courier: Cannot send or read mail

I have Debian 5 Linux box running ISPConfig 2. I am having trouble with my mail server.

Using a mail client like Outlook or Thundermail, I cannot logon to my mail server and receive mail.

With the RoundCube package, I can logon to a user I created, but cannot send mail from the RoundCube interface.

I have my MX records pointing at my mail server. I can send a message and it shows in my RoundCube inbox, but the contents of the message are never loaded, and as I mentioned before an external mail client like Outlook cannot retrieve the mail.

I'm not sure where to begin. I don't know if the trouble is with a mysql database or if a configuration file isn't set up properly. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Kyle

This error says I'm not authorized to send mail?

Am I not able to read the messages because they are being removed?

I am using Mac Mail as my mail client. When I try to setup my email account on ISPConfig, I do not know what to put for incoming mail server and outgoing mail server. Do I need to create a virtual mail server, e.g. mail.kylekarhohs.me?

Thanks for the help

 

You need to use your ISP's smtp server as a smarthost.

 

Thanks topdog, but I do not know what that means. I thought my mail server was an smtp server. Could you be more detailed in your explanation?
