    Hi ,

    I'm very new to ispconfig. Currently I having problem when receiving new email. After look thru your previous thread, I notice there might be something wrong with my setting. After I restart the server I notice something strange in my /var/log/maillog that is :

    Did you manually edit /etc/postfix/virtusertable?
    Please run
    Code:
    postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
    to create /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db from /etc/postfix/virtusertable and restart Postfix afterwards.
    Is puspakom.net.ms your server? Please post the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap

    MZO: I don't understand, where ip 210.186.3.85:1102 come from because that is not my server ip. Do you have any idea?:)

    Both server.puspakom.net.ms and puspakom.net.ms point to the IP address 213.239.203.47. Is this your public IP address?
    Is the server behind a router, or is it connected directly to the internet? If it is behind a router, did you forward port 25 from your router to your server?

    210.186.3.85 is the IP address with which you connected to your server.

    MZO :213.239.203.47 IS not my public ip. At first place I can receive mail but later probably I wrongly do something that lead to this problem. Where can I change it(files) to my public IP? :) Currently my server is behind network-box server but all port is allow from net to dmz. I still get warning in /var/log/maillog even though after I do postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable and reboot the server, the error log is :

    Feb 5 19:00:09 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[14517]: warning: database /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtusertable

    Very need your expertise. Tq.

    First you must make sure that your domains and subdomains point to the correct IP address. Therefore you must change the DNS records. The responsible nameservers for puspakom.net.ms are ns5.idnscan.net, ns6.idnscan.net, ns1.idnscan.net, and ns2.idnscan.net.

    Please post the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /etc/postfix/
    Do you get any error messages when you run
    Code:
    postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
    ?

    MZO : I didn't have any error when run this command. Please see below :

    [root@server ~]#
    [root@server ~]# postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
    [root@server ~]#
    [root@server ~]#

    You must change the DNS records for puspakom.net.ms so that they point to the correct IP address.

    mzo New Member

    MZO : Which part do I need to change it, in the cydots.com (puspakom.net.ms setting) or in ispconfig? So far I already point www.puspakom.net.ms to my public ip. You can test it when type www.puspakom.net.ms in the browser. I think Joynic.com is free domain provider so most probably that why it will go to their 213.239.203.47. So this happend because my postfix/smtp search for puspakom.net.ms. Can I change postfix/smtp setting so it will go my public ip<x.x.x.x> instead of puspakom.net.ms?tq.

    falko Super Moderator Howtoforge Staff

    You must change it on the responsible nameservers for your domain. These are ns1.idnscan.net, ns2.idnscan.net, ns5.idnscan.net, ns6.idnscan.net.

    I'm afraid this doesn't work.

    Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

    Please check if the MX record of your domain is pointing to the correct server. You can check that as follows:
    Code:
    dig mx yourdomain.com

    Your mail server seems to want to redirect all your emails to com.com. Can you post your /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/mailname? What are the outputs of
    Code:
    hostname 
    and
    Code:
    hostname -f
    ?

    Abandonment!

    Thanks for the reply Falko. We opted out of virtualmin in favor of Interworx. now All is Well! Mail worky just fine. I don't know where that entry for com.com came from? It's a puzzlement!

    So you don't use ISPConfig 2? Because you posted in the ISPConfig 2 forum...
