Hello, I installed the above mentioned earlier. The install looks pretty good, I can connect to my account created with ISPConfig just fine with a mail client etc... however, when sending mail to my account.. it appears it never gets there. Right now, this is just an internal account using local hostnames etc... the local address should be: mail.elatia.net.. however, the logs look like it's attempting to post to mail.elatia.com. I must have munged something up (switched out the .net for the .com somewhere during setup). Here is a /var/log/mail.log snippet: Oct 23 22:00:08 ubuntu postfix/smtp[27356]: connect to mail.elatia.com[69.25.47.164]: No route to host (port 25) Oct 23 22:00:38 ubuntu postfix/smtp[27356]: connect to mail.elatia.com[66.150.161.57]: Connection timed out (port 25) Oct 23 22:00:38 ubuntu postfix/smtp[27356]: 27F223FA52: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=37, delays=0.01/0/37/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail.elatia.com[66.150.161.57]: Connection timed out) Can someone help me get this configured to the right domain? This is my first linux server install, so I apologize if this is a simple fix. Thanks, Donovan
Found mail.elatia.com in /etc/mailname I vim'ed to mail.elatia.net I then reloaded the config file for postfix. Still the same error in /var/log/mail.log: Oct 27 14:06:48 ubuntu postfix/smtp[21695]: connect to mail.elatia.com[66.150.161.57]: Connection timed out (port 25) Oct 27 14:06:48 ubuntu postfix/smtp[21695]: E5A233FA5C: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=311807, delays=311755/0.08/51/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail.elatia.com[66.150.161.57]: Connection timed out) I also restarted postfix.. and no go. Could this be in another app? I grepped the dovecot directory for 'elatia.com'.. and couldn't find anything. TIA, Donovan
Please post the output of: netstat -tap and: iptables -L I guess that mail.elatia.com is your local server, were you installed ISPConfig?

Is your server behind a router? If yes, make sure that you opened port 25 on your router and forwarded it to your server.
Yes, but this mail server is a LAN server only right now.. In otherwords, I'm trying to send mail to the server within the LAN via /etc/hosts listings. I think I may have found the reason why I'm not getting mail to the account. It appears that ISPconfig created an alias that rewrites [email protected] to [email protected], but I think it should be "[email protected]". Is there a place in ISPConfig to fix this.. or do have to fix the alias individually? If individually, some guidance would be appreciated. Below is the recent /var/log/mail.log to where a postfix talklist guy suggested the problem above: (from a postfix reload and restart) -- Oct 29 13:11:11 ubuntu postfix/master[1802]: daemon started -- version 2.4.5, configuration /etc/postfix Oct 29 13:11:12 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: BE1773FA80: from=<>, size=2999, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:12 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: 341D03FA54: from=<[email protected]>, size=5173, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:12 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: F37E43FA5D: from=<>, size=2990, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:12 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: 91C993FA5E: from=<>, size=2990, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:12 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: 536283FA85: from=<>, size=2830, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:12 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: ECF433FA7C: from=<>, size=2990, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:31 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[1818]: connect from unknown[10.0.1.2] Oct 29 13:11:31 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[1818]: 3936B3FA66:client=unknown[10.0.1.2] Oct 29 13:11:31 ubuntu postfix/cleanup[1821]: 3936B3FA66: message-id=<[email protected]> Oct 29 13:11:31 ubuntu postfix/qmgr[1804]: 3936B3FA66: from=<[email protected]>, size=881, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 29 13:11:31 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[1818]: disconnect from unknown[10.0.1.2] Oct 29 13:11:31 ubuntu postfix/smtp[1822]: 3936B3FA66: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.09, delays=0.07/0.02/0/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found.

There is nothing wrong with that, its the intended behaviour. Make sure that ubuntu.elatia.net is set in DNS or the local hosts file to point to your server.
This is my /etc/hosts: root@ubuntu:/home/donovan# less /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntu.elatia.net # 127.0.1.1 ubuntu.elatia.net ubuntu 10.0.1.200 ubuntu.elatia.net ubuntu 10.0.1.200 mail.elatia.net Mail 10.0.1.200 ns1.elatia.net ns1 10.0.1.200 ns2.elatia.net ns2 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ubuntu.elatia.net fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts /etc/hosts (END) -- Shouldn't this take care of the routing? It appears the logs indicated that "ubuntu.elatia.net" domain does not exist.. but yet my hosts file above is set.?? Donovan
Is ubuntu.elatia.net listed in /etc/postfix/local-host-names? If not, add it at the end of the file and restart postfix.
Well, I've looked at that a bunch of times and the answer is technically, no. However, there was something similar so I didn't think it was an issue... I don't know what the .localdomain thing does. Here is the file: -- localhost ubuntu.elatia.net.localdomain localhost.ubuntu.elatia.net.localdomain localhost.elatia.net.localdomain localhost.localdomain dbrooke.elatia.net elatia.net --- I'll try putting just ubuntu.elatia.net below that. thanks, Donovan
Solved That worked! funny that I've looked at that file 25 times and decided to leave it alone... thanks till. Donovan
Make sure that you add the line at the end of the file as last line after the comment. Otherwise it will get overwritten.
ISPConfig is adding the hostname itself and a second line with .localdomain because this is needed on some systems. If the original line is not added by ISPConfig automatically, then the hostmname command does not return the same hostname that you set in my.cns as mail hostname, though you have to add it manually.
