    I have ISP Config installed and set up. I think everything is correct but it must not be. I installed Squirrelmail, made sure all ports are open on ISP Config. checked my local ports and everything is open as far as I know but might not be set to the right port #'s maybe. I can receive e-mail from everyone. In Squirrelmail I can compose and then click send it says the message has been delivered but the recipient never gets it. This is not just with specific addresses as I have seen in the past post. This happens no matter where I am sending the e-mail to. Also there is an attachment that comes in with every e-mail no matter where its comming from. here is the attachment.

    SquirrelMail notice messages
    Category: PHP
    Message: preg_split() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given
    FILE: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/squirrelmail/functions/imap_messages.php
    LINE: 926
    Category: PHP
    Message: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
    FILE: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/squirrelmail/functions/mime.php
    LINE: 52



    Can someone help me out to figure out why mail is not sending out and why this notice message comes in with every e-mail as well. It would be greatly appreciated.

    One of the problem is that for any reason your Postfix MTA is not running.
    Try to start it with the command: /etc/init.d/postfix start

    Please run
    Code:
    postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
    and restart Postfix.
    Can you also post the output of
    Code:
    ls -la /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix
    ?

    I have run the code : postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable
    and restarted postfix. When trying to get the out put of : ls -la /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix
    this is what I get: ls: cannot access /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix: No such file or directory

    When going to the directory manually it is not there either no etc directory at all.
    Would it be just as easy to try a fresh install from OS all the way through?

    Nothing to worry about. I was thinking that maybe your Postfix is running chrooted, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Is Postfix working now, or are you still getting errors?
