I have followed the fantastic guide for Perfect Setup Fedora Core 4 and have successfully installed ISPConfig. I can send internal mail and log in via the IMAP method using my email client and this seems to be working correctly (Also via the webmail). However, I have also configured Fetchmail to collect my external email on some of my external accounts in order to test the sytem. These emails are being collected but are then getting bounced. My hostname is set as 'linuxserver' I have setup ISPConfig with a site 'jherrick.co.uk' which I also own as a domain name. I would like to get the whole sytem working correctly and so any help greatly appreciated!

You should put linuxserver.linuxserver and localhost.linuxserver in /etc/hosts. Also put them at the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names and restart Postfix.
Falko, Thanks very much for the quick reply. I have added as described and this has now allowed the mail through....but it has gone to my linux user 'jason' not 'web1_jason' as specified in my /etc/fetchmailrc Any suggestions ??? Thanks again.

Such as co-domain?? 3) I guess I could also remove the web1_ part from the above and have all mail forwarded to the use jason ??? Thanks again for your help......I am learning slowly but surely!! UPDATE I have restarted postfix after changing Virtusertable , still not going to web1_jason but mail log now has Nov 7 17:14:01 localhost postfix/trivial-rewrite[3554]: warning: database /etc/postfix/virtusertable.db is older than source file /etc/postfix/virtusertable
Normally you don't use email addresses like [email protected], but ISPConfig writes them anyway because from time to time there's someone who needs that feature. Yes, you can use the Co-Domains. Therefore you'd have to change the file manually, but your changes would be overwritten by ISPConfig when it runs the next time. So don't edit that file (unless you edit it below the line #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ####)! But you could create an alias in /etc/aliases and make emails for web1_jason go to jason. After you've changed /etc/aliases, you must run Code: newaliases You must run Code: postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable after you change that file. But you shouldn't change it manually, as I've mentioned above.
Thanks for the latest info, it has certainly helped my understanding. I did as instructed "postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable" and I also restarted postfix before testing my mail. It is still going via my linux user 'jason' rather than 'web1_jason' as instructed in "/etc/postfix/virtusertable" My amended virtusertable is now Code: ################################### # # ISPConfig virtusertable Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jenson [email protected] web1_jenson [email protected] web1_jenson [email protected] web1_jenson #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! #### [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jason [email protected] web1_jenson I even altered the final setting to forward to web1_jenson as an extra test. All mail went direct to mailbox of 'Jason' At least all my mail is arriving in a mailbox, rather than going missing.....just need to fix this routing problem!
This happens because your emails get mapped to [email protected]xserver (see your mail logs). As I suggested before, create an alias in /etc/aliases.
Falko, Thanks again, but maybe a slight misunderstanding....I am looking to capture several users external mail through fetchmail, postfix and ISP Config to then deliver to each user. I am aware that somehow the 'web1_jason' is obviously going to linux user 'jason' but I am concerned this will continue to happen whereby user 'jason' will recieve all other users mail - As has happened when I altered the Fetchmailrc script to forward to 'web1_jenson' - It still came to user 'jason' Just trying to understand what is going on and why/how it forwards to 'jason' when told by the fetchmailrc file to go to 'web1_jason' or 'web1_jenson'. It seems to be ignoring this file..... Also there is no entry as yet in the etc/aliases re 'web1_jason' I will bear this in mind to map other users should they wish to send everything via the linux user name!
