I've been trying to get a MailServer set-up, still with no luck. I do believe it has todo with the DNS setting on my GoDaddy account. I've followed the "HowTo - Debian3.1 Sarge - PerfectSetup(ispconfig). and installed IspConfig. I've tried to send an e-mail from the webmail package, to a hotmail account. This is what my /var/log/mail.log returns: Code: server1 courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] server1 courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=mike, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] server1 courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=mike, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], top=0, retr=0, time=0 server1 postfix/smtp[7470]: E17ED57D83: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mx3.hotmail.com[65.54.244.72], delay=1, status=sent (250 <250 <[email protected]> Queued mail for delivery) server1 postfix/qmgr[5019]: E17ED57D83: removed Here is my Netstat -tap output: Code: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 896/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 919/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 980/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 905/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 877/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 1228/apache2 tcp 0 0 *:81 *:* LISTEN 1195/ispconfig_http tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 4873/proftpd: (acce tcp 0 0 server1.hotkeypr:domain *:* LISTEN 1357/named tcp 0 0 localhost.locald:domain *:* LISTEN 1357/named tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 1136/sshd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 5004/master tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:953 *:* LISTEN 1357/named tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 1228/apache2 But it never arrive's, So here is my Dig Hotkeyproductions.com MX Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> hotkeyproductions.com MX ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 32959 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;hotkeyproductions.com.

First, the excerpt from your mail log says, that the message has been delivered correctly to hotmail. Is your server hosted in a datacenter or do you run your server at home behind a DSL line or something similar.
For now it's here at my house with my other rackservers: --Edit: The problem isn't just sending them from my server, it's also recieveing. I recently tried to send one from hotmail and postmater returned the following: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, due to being unable to connect successfully to the destination mail server. [email protected]
This might happen because of Hotmail's anti spam policy, for example if you have a dynamic IP address or don't have proper SPF and PTR records for your domain. Please try to test with a non-Hotmail account - the best would be to test with an email address that is not hosted by Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. as all free-mailers have some anti-spam policies that might cause problems.
