isp blocks port 25

    ISPconfig is very cool and I have most of it working.

    So, my isp blocks port 25 and I have got around this in the past by using the smtp redirect service with rollernet.us and port 2525 with another mail server.

    I've added to /etc/postfix/master.cf

    smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
    2525 inet n - n - - smtpd

    I can telnet to both 25 and 2525 and get the normal responses and postfix is running.

    netstat -tap provides this:

    There is an A record pointing to mail under the domain to the correct global IP.

    The MX record points to mail.rollernet.us

    However, when I try to point an email client to mail.domain.com or the IP address I get a mail relay access denied when trying to send.. I'm not sure if the issue is with the local ispconfig server or with rollernet. Or maybe both. When I send an email from an external account it disappears. No bounce and no received email.


    I've trawled through the forums looking for the answer to this but haven't found it. Probably I've missed something obvious.

    Did you tell postfix to send all mail to rollernet.us? Please check there forum/docs, they should have examples!

    Do you get login promt when you try to send mails? Elese you could add your local lan to the relaynetwork. If you dont get login promt you need to specify that authpam should be used for relaying.
    Try to send with the webmail application too, check what mail.info/warn says in /var/log

    can send

    OK, have got a little further.

    Can now send to external but not receiving anything.

    So, if [email protected] (ISPC) sends to [email protected] that works fine. If I reply from [email protected] to that message it disappears. No bounce, no delivery. It's probably the rollernet thing. I'll keep checking.

    Also, when I log in the client it does ask for a password which it accepts.

    Thanks

    Please make sure Maildir is disabled under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.

    Maildir

    Hi Falko,

    To disable the maildir should that be checked or unchecked? It's currently unchecked.

    Thanks

    Webmail working

    Thanks Leera,

    Installed the webmail stuff and all the test messages were in there. Can send end to end now this way and need to spend some more time tweaking the pop side. Lack of knowledge really.

    I'll post further when I have it figured.

    Cheers,

    Snook:)

    Yes, it must be unchecked.
