Do I need squirrelmail for Outlook to work?

I had to disable squirrelmail in-order to get access to isp3 in browser. Do I need it to be enabled for Outlook to work? If so can you give me some ideas where to look for the problem? If not, then I am having another issue as Outlook will not setup to receive or send emails.

This is what I have without running squirrelmail

 

This is what I had setup before and I have now reinstated squirrelmail and it is working without problems with isp3. But I am still unable to ping smtp.kustomhosting.net, I am not sure what is wrong and I am also unable to access webmail.kustomhosting.net And now my domains are going directly back to squirrelmail again, I disabled it again.

Code:

Alias /squirrelmail /usr/share/squirrelmail
Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
  Options FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_php5.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
    php_flag track_vars On
    php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen Off
    php_value include_path .
    php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/squirrelmail/tmp
    php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/squirrelmail:/etc/squirrelmail:/var/lib/squirrelmail:/etc/hostname:/etc/mailname:/var/spool/squirrelmail
    php_flag register_globals off
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>

  # access to configtest is limited by default to prevent information leak
  <Files configtest.php>

</VirtualHost>

#
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#  <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
#    <Location /squirrelmail>
#      RewriteEngine on
#      RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ [NC]
#      RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}  [L]

#</IfModule>

 

Is this correct

 

I am able to ping both the webmail and smtp addresses but cannot seem to get outlook send the test email. It is not able to login to the smtp outgoing mail server. Any ideas.

 

This is the error and the setup

Code:

Send test e-mail message: Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

 

Make sure that Postfix is running and that no firewall is blocking port 25.

 

seems I am getting an error on postfix

Code:

root@ks359171:~# postfix status
/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/master.cf: unused parameter: smtpd_bind_address=127.0.0.1
postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 31900

Not sure where to go from here.

 

That's just a warninig which you can ignore.

Please also check if maybe your ISP is blocking port 25.

 

ISP isn't blocking 25 and namp shows it open

Code:

root@ks359171:~# nmap 91.121.156.14

Just noticed port 25 isn't open in the isp3 firewall, does it need to be? If so which side, tcp or udp?

 

Yes. TCP.

What's the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?

opened port 25 and got this error

Code:

Send test e-mail message: None of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server.

so I removed the authentication options and then recieved this one

Code:

Send test e-mail message: Cannot send the message. Verify the e-mail address in your account properties.  The server responded: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

I just set the authentication in the advanced tab to auto and the current error is this

Code:

Send test e-mail message:   The server responded: 554 5.7.1 <75-136-5-59.st

 

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

 

Ok. I made some changes to postfix and finally got Outlook to setup without any errors buts when I send an email from another address to the one I setup in outlook and isp3 I get this error.

Code:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

     [email protected]

Technical details of permanent failure: 
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 <mail-gg0-f170.google.com[209.85.161.170]>: Client host rejected: Access denied (state 13).

 

Does the MX record of kustomhosting.net point to the correct server?

 

I believe so. This is what I have

 

Technically this is correct, but why do you have three MX records that all point to the same server? One is enough.

Does [email protected] exist on your server?
