    So i've used ISPCOnfig on other servers.
    Installed, using these instructions. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...-9-stretch-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/
    Been developing a website with on the server, noticed that the wordpress emails were not being recieved.
    Made an email in the control panel, and logged on to roundcube webmail.
    Recieved an SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed error.
    Attached is an image of the tail of the mail.log file
    Says mail service is down?
    "warning: Mail system is down -- accessing queue directly"
    Not sure what is going on here. If i "service postfix restart", the is no errors or squawks....

    What shows command
    Code:
    systemctl --state=failed
    Check you have edited /etc/postfix/master.cf according to the Perfect Server Guide.

    Hi,

    I had the same issue, here is output to the command
    # systemctl --state=failed
    UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION

    ● networking.service loaded failed failed Raise network interfaces


    LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
    ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
    SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

    1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
    To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

    1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
    To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

    That means network is not up. Try
    Code:
    systemctl status networking.service
    to maybe get more info on why it is not working.
    Then examine logs and use as root command
    Code:
    dmesg | more
    to find more info.

    What errors do you get when
    Code:
    systemctl start networking.service
     
  8. TomGrow

    Job for networking.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
    See "systemctl status networking.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

    Sir, I am on VPS

    Just letting you know that I had to devote all my time on another project and now I'm back on this one. Any help you can provide me on this would be greatly appreciated. I've answered your questions about my configuration above.

    Update fixed. Apparently something was wrong in my master.cf

    I copied and pasted the conf from the Perfect Server Guide, not it is working.
