Hey guys, So I installed ubuntu and ISPConfig by following the how2forge guide and didn't run into any troubles. I am not sure if I set up my DNS entries though. I registered a domain at godaddy and edited the DNS entries so that NS1.xxx.com and NS2.xxx.com would both point to my server which is running two static ips, eth0 and eth0:0. I then registered another domain (yyy.com) and pointed it's name servers to NS1.xxx.com and NS2.xxx.com. I also added the site to my ISP config and when I go to yyy.com or www.yyy.com it correctly redirects. Where I run into trouble is when trying to setup my email client at home to point to my mail server. It sucessfully logs into my mailserver but whenever I try to send a message it says "Relay access denied." If I go through the /webmail/ I can sucessfully send emails out fine, however when I try to email [email protected] from my gmail I get the following error: This leads me to believe that maybe I forgot to change the hostname from "server1.example.com" somewhere but I've checked all the obvious places and it's updated. main.cf local-host-names hostname -f ns1.xxx.com virtusertable dig mx yyy.com Is it possible that I incorrectly did the mx record for the godaddy domain xxx.com? dig mx xxx.com are my MX records incorrect? If so, how do I correctly configure them for yyy.com in ISPConfig, or for godaddy DNS xxx.com? Thanks for the help guys.
Also, when I email [email protected] I get no error but nothing shows up in the webmails inbox. I also never changed the mysql hostname from server1.example.com, could it be that? How would I change that?
Yeah, thank you for responding Falko. xxx.com = fluidnetworking.net yyy.com = silicondawn.com I reinstalled postfix and sasld with the correct hostname and now I don't recieve any errors when emailing to both my addresses from gmail, however they still don't show up in my inbox. In webmail I can email my gmail no problem, but I can't recieve email from the gmail or outside. I can recieve and send email between the two ([email protected] and [email protected]) without any problems. In mozilla thunderbird I can send and recieve emails between the two ([email protected] and [email protected]) without any problems, but if I check "use secure authentication" I get "Mail server does not support authentication" and when I send email to an outside address from Thunderbird I get "Relay access denied". Maybe sasld? hostname hosts Once again, thank you very much Falko for your quick response and willingness to help the community.
Sorry about the late response... I reconfigured the DNS servers and now everything works properly through the mail client (thunderbird), including TLS and SSL. However, if I check "use secure authentication" I get "mail server does not support secure authentication" and also my webmail doesn't show messages from outside addresses.

Is "Use Secure Authentication" even necessary when I'm using SSL? What exactly is it for? Once again, you're commitment to the community is outstanding. Thank you.
The output is ok, your server can speak TLS. No, you don't need "Use secure authentication." You must tell you email client to use TLS (if you want to use TLS, of course).
Thank you very much Falko! My one last question is how do I fix the webmail? I can send all I want but my inbox is always empty; it never recieves anything. Email client works perfectly with TLS, POP3 and SSL.
You receive emails with your email client, but not with webmail? Do you use POP3 or POP3s in your email client? Any error messages in webmail or your mail log?
I'v got the same problem. Postfix doesn't deliver mails to user mailboxes, just leaves them in /var/spool/mail/ any idea for fixing this ?

If you want emails to be delivered to Maildir, run this: Code: postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' postconf -e 'mailbox_command =' /etc/init.d/postfix restart
