Hi guys, I have followed howto on installing ispconfig3 setup on Ubuntu 8.1. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10-ispconfig-3. I am not getting any mail bounced back and suirrel client seems to be able to access the account. But nothing ever comes. The mail box has been created in the vmail directory inc. new, cur and so on. I did not install quota or myDns. I am using 123-reg for the dns and i have the following set up there: dig mx neuroriche.com ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2 <<>> mx neuroriche.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 25061 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;neuroriche.com.

Richard, Thanks for the reply. if i do wheris maildrop, i get: root@neuroaa1:/var/log# whereis maildrop maildrop: /usr/bin/maildrop /usr/share/man/man1/maildrop.1.gz So I addded a symlink, but, it is still not working. root@neuroaa1:/var/log# cd /usr/local/bin root@neuroaa1:/usr/local/bin# ls -l total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 2009-06-03 13:01 ispconfig_update_from_svn.sh -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/ispconfig_update.sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 2009-06-03 13:01 ispconfig_update.sh -> /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/ispconfig_update.sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2009-06-04 11:52 maildrop -> /usr/bin/maildrop -rwxr--r-- 1 getmail ispconfig 168 2009-06-03 13:01 run-getmail.sh
ok, I dont think it is a problem with postfix, because i tried to telnet to port 25 and got the following: $telnet mail.neuroriche.com 25 telnet: could not resolve mail.neuroriche.com/25: Name or service not known $telnet neuroriche.com 25 Trying 78.31.107.138... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused ben@paris:/etc/apache2/sites-available$
Be sure you have set the MX record of neuroriche.com to mail.neuroriche.com and point mail.neuroriche.com to the server's ip address. And remember: dns update takes time.
