After a successful setup, adding domains, users, email to ISPCONFIG3 on a Centos 6_64 Perfect Server (Apache 2) I try to log in with a webmail I have created. https://example.com/webmail I enter username & password (I have tried with and without the domain name) only to receive the following error after a minute or two: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. The log file viewed from ISPConfig Panel reveals many errors: Mail-Error - Log Code: Aug 27 11:27:04 s1 dovecot: log: Error: service(auth): child 8524 returned error 89 (Fatal failure) Aug 27 11:27:39 s1 dovecot: pop3-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=8474, input bytes=0 Aug 27 11:27:58 s1 postfix/qmgr[1352]: 492FB12363A: from=<[email protected]>, size=506, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 27 11:27:58 s1 postfix/qmgr[1352]: BC3D012369C: from=<>, size=2516, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 27 11:27:58 s1 postfix/qmgr[1352]: 3D47B1236A1: from=<>, size=2529, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 27 11:27:58 s1 postfix/smtp[8564]: connect to example.com[2606:2800:220:6d:26bf:1447:1097:aa7]:25: Network is unreachable Aug 27 11:27:58 s1 postfix/smtp[8565]: connect to example.com[2606:2800:220:6d:26bf:1447:1097:aa7]:25: Network is unreachable Aug 27 11:27:58 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)connect to /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock failed, attempt #1: Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock: 2 Aug 27 11:27:59 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)connect to /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock failed, attempt #1: Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock: No such file or directory Aug 27 11:27:59 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)ClamAV-clamd: All attempts (1) failed connecting to /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock, retrying (2) Aug 27 11:28:01 s1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts): rip=::1, lip=::1, secured Aug 27 11:28:04 s1 dovecot: auth: Error: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot-sql.conf: No such file or directory Aug 27 11:28:04 s1 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Aug 27 11:28:04 s1 dovecot: log: Error: service(auth): child 8584 returned error 89 (Fatal failure) Aug 27 11:28:05 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)connect to /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock failed, attempt #1: Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock: No such file or directory Aug 27 11:28:05 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: run_av error: Too many retries to talk to /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock (All attempts (1) failed connecting to /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock) at (eval 103) line 600.\n Aug 27 11:28:05 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups Aug 27 11:28:13 s1 amavis[8200]: (08200-03) (!)ClamAV-clamscan av-scanner FAILED: /usr/bin/clamscan KILLED, signal 9 (0009) at (eval 103) line 897.

Please post your postfix main.cf and master.cf file. And clamav does not seem to be started, how much ram does the server has?
512 MB is not enough for a full setup with web and mail. You need at least 1GB RAM or you will have to disable the mail scanning (antivirus and spam) as described here: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...ilter-and-antivirus-functions-in-ispconfig-3/ If the server as not enough ram, then services like clamav / sasl and others will not start or the processes will die unexectedly and this results in mail delivery failures or websites are inaccessible.
In the master.cf file, change the lines: Code: #submission inet n - n - - smtpd # -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt # -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes # -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject # -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING #smtps inet n - n - - smtpd # -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes # -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes # -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject # -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING to: Code: submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject # -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject # -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING to enable smtps if you want to use it. But thats not related to your mail issue.
First of all thank you! Second - I have re-sized my VPS to have 1 GB RAM Third, while I am having a better looking error log after the suggested changes, I am still having troubles logging into my email (although I see now it has 50kb worth emails from the ISPConfig control panel) Clam I suspect is still not working!

There seem to be some config files missing that are created by ispconfig, maybe dovecot was not installed at the time ispconfig was installed or dovecot was reinstalled after you installed ispconfig. Download the ispconfig tar.gz again, unpack it and run the update.php script which is in the install folder. Choose to reconfigure services during update.
I followed the guide literally but did not install mailman as I have no use of it. UPDATE Done... and YET!
