    Hi

    Im having a little trouble with ISPConfig and postfix, first I followed the perfect howto for Dapper and all seemed to of gone well my fist question is this:

    What are the mail settings for email clients like outlook, thunderbird etc etc with my other domain i login to Cpanel and just add the account and it tells you some thing like:
    Code:
    username = user+domain
    mail client settings = mail.domain.com
    My next question is this for some reason some thing is telling me that my main.cf is wrong so i wounder if a postfix guru could take a quick look and see if you can spot any thing wrong?

    Code:
    # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version
    
    
    # Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
    # line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
    # is /etc/mailname.
    #myorigin = /etc/mailname
    
    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
    biff = no
    
    # appending .domain is the MUA's job.
    append_dot_mydomain = no
    
    # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
    #delay_warning_time = 4h
    
    # TLS parameters
    smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt
    smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key
    smtpd_use_tls = yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache
    smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache
    
    # See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
    # information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
    
    myhostname = phoenix.ixl2.org
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
    alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
    myorigin = /etc/mailname
    #mydestination = phoenix.ixl2.org, localhost.ixl2.org, , localhost
    relayhost = 
    mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
    mailbox_command = 
    mailbox_size_limit = 0
    recipient_delimiter = +
    inet_interfaces = all
    inet_protocols = ipv4
    smtpd_sasl_local_domain = 
    smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination
    smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
    smtp_use_tls = yes
    smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
    smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem
    smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
    smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
    smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
    tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
    
    virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
    
    mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names
    home_mailbox = Maildir/
    
    Thanks for any help you can provide :).

    1) Mail settings:

    Use the domain name as smtp and pop3 server and the username (web[ID]_user) as username and the password you entered as password.

    2) main.cf problem. Please post the exact error message you got.

    Hi

    So some thing like smtp.mydomain.com and pop3.mydomain.com ?

    EDIT:

    Yes the above works, now one quick question... How would i forward say [email protected] to another email like [email protected] ?

    Thanks for the help.
