I can't receive mail on my server I recently set up with ISPConfig 3. I'm running on Ubunutu 15.04 and followed this tutorial to setup my server. When I try and telnet my server on port 25, it says "Connection refused". I've configured ISPConfig to use the ufw firewall, and it seems to be working correctly for all other ports. ufw status output: Code: To Action From -- ------ ---- 22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 25/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 53/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 80/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 110/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 123/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 143/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 443/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 587/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 993/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 995/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 3306/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 8080/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 8081/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 10000/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 53/udp ALLOW Anywhere 80/udp ALLOW Anywhere 3306/udp ALLOW Anywhere 10024/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 22/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 25/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 53/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 80/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 110/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 123/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 143/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 443/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 587/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 993/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 995/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 3306/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 8080/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 8081/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 10000/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 53/udp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 80/udp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 3306/udp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 10024/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) /var/log/mail.log: Code: Aug 6 15:25:38 cupoftea dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=13671, secured, session=<hjwQS6Uc5wB/AAAB> Aug 6 15:25:38 cupoftea dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=79 out=777 Aug 6 15:30:01 cupoftea sm-mta[13773]: t76EU1ew013773: localhost [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA-v4 Aug 6 15:30:01 cupoftea dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<9WfJWqUc7AB/AAAB> Aug 6 15:30:01 cupoftea dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=</s3JWqUcHQB/AAAB> Aug 6 15:35:01 cupoftea sm-mta[13878]: t76EZ1Vh013878: localhost [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA-v4 Aug 6 15:35:01 cupoftea dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<vKakbKUcIwB/AAAB> Aug 6 15:35:01 cupoftea dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<NaikbKUc8gB/AAAB> Aug 6 15:35:38 cupoftea dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=13931, secured, session=<mp3bbqUc9AB/AAAB> Aug 6 15:35:38 cupoftea dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=79 out=777
I stopped sendmail using service sendmail stop, and then restarted postfix, but it's still not working. And I still can't telnet to port 25.

These are successful tests of the system monitor for pop3 and IMAP. Restart postfix and check which errors you get when it is not starting.
Sorry for the late reply, been busy with other stuff. Anyway, restarting postfix does not result in any errors. The netstat command didn't give any output, so I tried "netstart -tanp" which gave this result: Code: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:11300 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 936/beanstalkd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10024 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8283/amavisd-new (m tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1400/mysqld tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:11211 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 973/memcached tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6379 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 847/redis-server 12 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp 0 0 46.101.21.98:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8232/nginx -g daemo tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8232/nginx -g daemo tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8081 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8232/nginx -g daemo tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1499/pure-ftpd (SER tcp 0 0 46.101.21.98:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 858/named tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 858/named tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4300/sshd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 858/named tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:49505 127.0.0.1:21 TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 360 46.101.21.98:22 81.11.220.46:50927 ESTABLISHED 30959/sshd: cupofte tcp 0 0 46.101.21.98:8081 81.11.220.46:51062 TIME_WAIT - tcp 0 0 46.101.21.98:8081 81.11.220.46:51085 TIME_WAIT - tcp6 0 0 :::995 :::* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::110 :::* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 13520/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::21 :::* LISTEN 1499/pure-ftpd (SER tcp6 0 0 :::53 :::* LISTEN 858/named tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 4300/sshd tcp6 0 0 ::1:953 :::* LISTEN 858/named tcp6 0 0 :::993 :::* LISTEN 13520/dovecot
Turns out postfix wasn't properly installed somehow. postfix status now returns "postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 4485" Found this is my mail.log now: Code: Sep 1 12:21:26 cupoftea postfix/qmgr[4287]: 0FA0EE3936: from=<[email protected]>, size=677, nr$ Sep 1 12:21:28 cupoftea amavis[8284]: (08284-01) (!)run_av (ClamAV-clamd) FAILED - unexpected , output="/var$ Sep 1 12:21:28 cupoftea amavis[8285]: (08285-01) (!)run_av (ClamAV-clamd) FAILED - unexpected , output="/var$ Sep 1 12:21:28 cupoftea amavis[8284]: (08284-01) (!)ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: CODE(0x47ddad8) unexpect$ Sep 1 12:21:28 cupoftea amavis[8285]: (08285-01) (!)ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: CODE(0x47ddad8) unexpect$ Sep 1 12:21:28 cupoftea amavis[8285]: (08285-01) (!)WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering bac$ Sep 1 12:21:28 cupoftea amavis[8284]: (08284-01) (!)WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering bac$ Sep 1 12:21:40 cupoftea postfix/postfix-script[4319]: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 4285 Sep 1 12:22:06 cupoftea postfix/master[4285]: terminating on signal 15 and this in my mail.err: Code: Sep 1 12:27:20 cupoftea amavis[8284]: (08284-01) (!!)AV: ALL VIRUS SCANNERS FAILED Sep 1 12:27:20 cupoftea amavis[8285]: (08285-01) (!!)AV: ALL VIRUS SCANNERS FAILED
Whenever I send an email now, I get this reply even though I've set up a mailbox in ISPConfig. Code: This is the mail system at host cupoftea.io. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message. The mail system <[email protected]>: unknown user: "admin"
check postfix main.cf file, the domain cupoftea.io may not be mentioned in that file, all domains are in mysql as ispconfig uses a virtual mail system. If the hostname of your server is cupoftea.io, then change it to e.g. server1.cupoftea.io and cahnge it also in /etc/mailname and /etc/postfix/main.cf
The domain cupoftea.io is mentioned in both of those files. Not sure why I need to change it to server1.cupoftea.io? That'd change the email address as well.
The email addresses are defined in ispconfig and not in postfix main.cf. A domain that is used for virtual email addresses may not be defined in postfix main.cf.
So I changed cupoftea.io to server1.cupoftea.io in those files and the DB, but now nothing is happening...
You should not change it in the db, just in the files /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/mailname and then restart postfix.
