So what do I have to do to setup email for a domain, let's say website.com, add emails for that domain so that I can: - send emails via smtp - receive emails ? I have DNS setup I added the email domain website.com I added an email [email protected] with quota 0 (i guess that means unlimited?) with receiving, imap and pop enabled. So far I could check my email (I moved them from another server and set the proper permissions) But I couldn't receive nor send emails. I managed to make sending of emails work by adding in the postfix whitelist 3 records: website.com type:sender unknown type:client com type:recipient But that meant I could only send to *@*.com So how do I get rid of this? I only want it to check against the sender, not the client and the recipient also. And as for the incoming emails not... coming: Code: This is the mail system at host website.com.

I've just done a migration to using Postfix etc myself using the excellent guide on this site and would reccomend either running through that or at least using it as a reference for checking how you have configured your site. The maillog you post shows some issues, such as duplicate entries for host-domain and virtual domain definitions, that you should try and address. Not being an expert on Linux my only other advice,, based on issues I had, were to disable SELinux security and the firewall until you have everything working and then make small changes to secure the server. Good luck Mark
Really guys it isn't working. I'm losing my mind over here by the hour. I've renamed myhostname so that there aren't any duplicates in virtual-domains. But of course that wasn't the problem, it couldn't be that simple. Please, for the love of god 'cause I haven't done this before, tell me what are the steps to follow in ISPConfig make sure I at least can receive emails. I even added right now my domain in the whitelist with type recipient and it still bounces the email on the count that the user i'm trying to send to (on my domain) doesn't exist. But the hell it does exist. I'll post the mysql query log with what queries postfix does when it receives an email I send from gmail and which queries return something or not based on what's in the table. mail_transport and mail_forwarding tables are empty
Hm... I found the reason for: The user emailuser doesn't exist on linux. If I add it: But obviously it goes to the mailbox of the linux user and not the virtual mailbox. So here lies the problem. Which module handles this? And what's wrong with it's configuration? Note that before this I told ISPConfig to remake it's configuration files. LE: The problem must be in SASL and in postfix. I'm running CentOS 5.4 i think (either this or 5.3) and the first thing I found is that the smtpd.conf file was not configured. SASL's smtpd.conf file in centos is in /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf and ISPConfig tries to write /etc/postfix/sasl/smptd.conf Anyway I configured them both properly.. I think: Even later edit: I don't see anywhere in postfix to configure SASL parameters
Download the latest ispconfig (3.0.1.6), unpavk it and then run the update.php script again and select to reconfigure services. It is not nescessary to change any file manually on centos 5.4 32bit or 64Bit, and I'am doing this installs daily, they are just working out of the box. Make sure that you followed the perfect server guide to the letter before you installed ispconfig.
Yes, I followed the perfect server guide and yes I already ran the update.php this morning to try again and no, it didn't fix it. I managed to isolate the problem to postfix not using sasl properly. When connecting to the smtp port it's not using authentication at all. Code: $ telnet website.com 25 Trying X.X.X.X... Connected to website.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 ns1.website.com ESMTP Postfix helo website.com 250 ns1.website.com exit 502 5.5.2 Error: command not recognized quit 221 2.0.0 Bye
Then you might have compiled postfix without sasl. But sasl is not even needed to receive emails, it is just needed when you send emails to non local recipients. So I dont think that thats the problem, most likely your postfix does not even support virtual users at all or has no mysql compiled in. You should recompile and reinstall tzhe new postfix as described in the perfect server guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.4-x86_64-ispconfig-3-p4
I don't know about sasl support but you can see above that mysql works but virtual users don't and that's why it keeps bouncing emails. Also, yes, i did compile it like that. How can I check what modules postfix is compiled with?
Please install squirrelmail on the server if you did it not already. Then login to a local email account in squirrelmail and send a email to this exact same email account. Then post all lines that got added in the mail log file. Also run these commands and post the output: postconf -d | grep sasl and postconf -n | grep sasl
Here's from maillog after trying to send from squirrelmail: Not that it's any concludent. Apparently it's trying to use sendmail which isn't running.
Sendmail is the name of the postfix sendmail wrapper an part of every postfix configuration, os the log lines are ok. The output of the postf´conf commands is ok. Please post the output of: netstat -tap | grep smtp and the content of the /etc/hosts file.
Here it is: Code: # netstat -tap | grep smtp getnameinfo failed getnameinfo failed getnameinfo failed getnameinfo failed # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost # Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment. 93.115.250.113 wip.ro wip wip
About the before squirrelmail problem it seemed that postfix was stopped, silly me Here's the log now: And no, I didn't write the TLD twice when sending the mail.
Another bug I found when using SMTP SASL authentication. I tried to authenticat with something like [email protected] and it's password but SASL queries the mysql users table like this: And I don't imagine why not because it's setup like this: Emphasis on what I have bolded. Shouldn't it check for the full [email protected] ? I've even changed it to %u@%d and it still queries without the domain. This is madness
There is no problem with sasl according to the log files and I told you already that sasl is not even involved in receiving the emails! Do not change anything in the sasl files, it will just cause more problems. If the setup works on then thousands of servers with the exact files that are in the ispconfig installer, it will work on your server too. We just have to figure out where your server is configured wrong and when you change the working default files of ispconfig, we can stop right here as we will not find the problem then. According to the mail log file, your server forwards the email to the server 87.106.16.229. Is this the IP of the local server?
M.. no. I sent the email to auras at wip.ro (my server) but somehow postfix (or squirrelmail) decided to send it to auras at wip.ro.ro and that's where that ip came from.
Please check the settings in squirrelmail under otions and make sure that you have set a correct sender address there.
I reran php -q update.php to remake the configuration files and smtpd authentication now works which it didn't before. But receiving emails still doesn't work. The same problem: unknown user "xxxxxx" I'm posting these again, maybe someone knows what's wrong with postfix: It's checking wrong. It should check for auras @ wip.ro. Someone with centos 5.4 can please post their postfix/sasl configuration? Aaaand yes, I found the solution: Jan 19 14:46:41 wip postfix/trivial-rewrite[26080]: warning: do not list domain wip.ro in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Thanks all, and sorry for the fuss
