First off: I am rather a newbie at linux and the server related stuff. I have set up my server with the help of your 'perfect server' article (ISPconfig3 with ubuntu 10.04) which worked fine, everything was set up nicely for 3 domain names and their email. After I installed postgrey and some modifications (my bad) followed by a reboot, emailing did not work properly. Then I purged and installed postfix and now, every email I send from my home PC to a set up email address in ISPConfig bounces (it takes a few minutes for the email to bounce). Mail log: Code: root@server1:/etc# tail /var/log/mail.log Aug 31 14:55:17 server1 imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=87, sent=391, time=0 Aug 31 14:55:19 server1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::1] Aug 31 14:55:19 server1 imapd: LOGIN, [email protected], ip=[::1], port=[41827], protocol=IMAP Aug 31 14:55:19 server1 imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=87, sent=391, time=0 Aug 31 14:55:22 server1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::1] Aug 31 14:55:22 server1 imapd: LOGIN, [email protected], ip=[::1], port=[41828], protocol=IMAP Aug 31 14:55:22 server1 imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=87, sent=391, time=0 Aug 31 14:55:23 server1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::1] Aug 31 14:55:23 server1 imapd: LOGIN, [email protected], ip=[::1], port=[41829], protocol=IMAP Aug 31 14:55:23 server1 imapd: LOGOUT, [email protected], ip=[::1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=87, sent=391, time=0 postconf -n Code: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no config_directory = /etc/postfix home_mailbox = Maildir/ html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all mailbox_command = mailbox_size_limit = 0 mydestination = localhost myhostname = localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 myorigin = /etc/mailname readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable local-host-names Code: localhost server1.biggee.nl localhost.server1.biggee.nl kleijnproduktion.nl biggee.nl krabat.nl Can anyone please help me with this, I'm at my whits end at the moment
FYI I did a uninstall and reinstall of ISPConfig Still there is a problem with emailing, different but still problematic. if I login to squirrelmail it gives an error: Code: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

Looks like you're using Dovecot instead of Courier. http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix-d...private-auth-failed-no-such-file-or-directory You must reconfigure SquirrelMail for Dovecot as well.
In /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I added: Code: client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } Afterwards I restarted dovecot with "dovecot restart" I get a fatal errormessage saying: Code: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 16: Unknown setting: client In etc/postfix/main.cf I added: Code: queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix Afterwards I restarted postfix which gave me 6 times the warning message: Code: postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: virtual_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable and 12 times the warning message: Code: /usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: virtual_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable Then I reconfigured squirrelmail for dovecot, rebooted the server and after the restart I tried logging into squirrelmail again: still the same issue Here's my mail.log Code: Sep 1 12:44:42 server1 postfix/smtp[2242]: DF9C9648CF: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<root>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, conn_use=8, delay=13480, delays=13448/31/0/0.12, dsn=4.5.0, status=deferred (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 id=01422-02-8 -

I can't go reinstalling Ubuntu everytime things do not go as planned. I have learned a lot in a week. With some help of the howtoforge moderators ofcourse...
so did you check if /var/spool/postfix/private/auth exists ? if it exists , try removing the client stanza from dovecot.conf and put this instead Code: auth default { socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } mechanisms = plain login }
It did not exist at that time so I created it but it had no effect. On reading information on dovecot.org I found out that my version of dovecot (2.0.19) needs a completely different configuration file. So I followed instructions on dovecot.org to create this config file. Results when I run doveconf -n: Code: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-29-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS base_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/ listen = * managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap sieve pop3" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Look now I have Linux Ubuntu 12.04 instead of Linux Ubuntu 10.04
