Postfix not receive but send mail !!!

Hi,
i have installed succesfully ispConfig 3.
I'm very happy...dns server, slave with mydnsconfig, synchro, etc...

I' have installed Postfix with Roundcube.
I' have unblocked my firewall ports (110,143,993,995) on my amazon elastic fox interface.
I'm able to send correctly all mail but i not receive from any host.

I'have correctely configured DNS service on MX field and the dig command point to correct IP address.

I note that in the default folder of COURIER DAEMON any mail is present:

/var/vmail/DOMAIN/ACCOUNT/new

and in the log any message of error is present and any mail return to sender.

I try to sen mail from QMAIL server (my other server with plesk) and the mail return with this message:

"This address no longer accepts mail"

I do not understand what's the problem....postfix configuration ? IspConfig? Roundcube? Courier daemon conlict ?

I use imapd and pop3d both ? But interest is only for pop3.

Thanks.

 

hi,
i try to send from rondcube (mixian.it to gmail.com) and i see in the log...but the response in not present in the log...

Another think...

if i send a mail from roundcube account to same roundcube account (from same domain that i have crate with ispconfig), i send and receive mail.

I receive mail only if the sender is an local domain / account!

 

have you opened port 25?

 

OPS, the learning never ends!
Thanks.

I assumed (wrongly) that port 25 was only for outgoing mail.
SMTP but probably has a different meaning

 

Hi,
i transfer all mail account from /var/vmail/ to /mnt/var/vmail because is more space for massive email.

In the IspConfig panel i have changed two field:

- Mail dir path = /mnt/var/vmail/[domain]/[localpart]
- Home dir = /mnt/var/vmail

is correct or more configuration is necessary because as it seems not to receive any emails ?


Thanks.

 

appendix ;-)

indeed, mount the disc under /var/vmail

(if your new disc is sdb with one partition)

edit /etc/fstab and add the line:

Code:

/dev/sdb1 /var/vmail ext3 defaults 0 0

then: mount /var/vmail

and now move the content of /var/vmail_old to /var/vmail

and you're good to go (no changes to ispconfig needed this way)

 

i try....i not able to work with fstab

# Legacy /etc/fstab
# Supplied by: ec2-ami-tools-1.3-45758

/dev/sda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1

/dev/sda2 /mnt ext3 defaults 0 0

/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

/dev/sda2 /mnt/var/vmail ext3 default 0 0 ############ MY LINE

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

 

nono wait ..

show me what the following command returns:

Code:

cat /proc/mounts

 

ns1:/mnt/var/vmail# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 rw,data=ordered,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group 0 0

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
ns1:/mnt/var/vmail#

my big partition is sda2

please see my last post....i have modify it...

 

Before you start doing the stuff below, is there anything else on sda2, or is it empty?


1. move the contents back from /mnt/var/vmail to /var/vmail

Code:

mv /mnt/var/vmail/* /var/vmail/

2. rename the dir /var/vmail to /var/vmail_old

Code:

mv /var/vmail /var/vmail_old

3. create a dir /var/vmail

Code:

mkdir /var/vmail

4. unmount your drive from /mnt

Code:

umount /mnt

5. edit /etc/fstab and give it this content:

Code:

/dev/sda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jq fmt=vfsv0 0 1
/dev/sda2 /var/vmail ext3 default 0 0
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

6. type:

Code:

mount -a

7. move the content of vmail_old to /var/vmail

Code:

mv /var/vmail_old/* /var/vmail/

 

there is only a "lost+found" directory (empty)

and

"umount /mnt" command FAIL....device is busy.

Is amazon issue ?!?!

Any application or service is active on /mnt.

ns1:/mnt# fuser -m /mnt/
/mnt/: 15020c 15752c 15753c 15955c 15956c 16413c 16740c

ns1:/mnt#

?!????!?!!?!

 

ns1:/mnt#

you're inside /mnt .. you cannot unmount when you're inside the /mnt folder .. so

cd /;; umount /mnt

 

Excuse me for my stupid error

ok the procedure but now the incoming messages remaining in the Maildir file and not result in the inbox of account

 

Sorry, could you elaborate this? i have no idea what you're saying

 

After following the procedure no longer receiving mail.
I noticed that remain in a file (/ var / vmail / Maildir) concatenated one after another, instead of being moved to the correct file.

I have also reassigned the permissions to folder as before.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for my bad English.

 

Ehm, after you have moved the /var/vmail_old to /var/vmail ..

in the /var/vmail dir, you should have your domains as directories, in it the names of the users f.e.:

/var/vmail/domain.tld/info/ <-- this dir should contain the new / cur / etc dirs just like a Maildir dir.

if you create a guest account for me, and send me the info in a pm, i can have a look at it, and give you better instructions, let me know if you're up for that.

 

Before doing this, I want you to note that in a previous post voltron81 had the same problem.
Transfer / var / vmail is corrupt. Mailfilter files! and the message remains in / var / vmail / Maildir files.
