Cannot receive emails

Hi,

I have a problem with my email using ISPConfig, I cannot receive emails at all but I can send using Outlook Express. However if I use webmail - squirrelmail - the email I receive will be [email protected]. The following is my mail log;

Can some let me know how to get this up and running. Thank you

Please post the content of /etc/postfix/main.cf. Also, what distro are you using? What host and domain name did you use when you did the intial setup?

 

Thank you for your fast reply, my main.cf file is as followed

Hi till,

Thank you for your reply, but i am a little confused here. Which file should I been editing my main.cf or my.cnf. I thought my.cnf is for mysql server.

Also how do I check if server1.ibtaus.info is in the DNS? Sorry to be a hazzard.

Thank you

 

I'm sure till ment main.cf.
I think you should have a A record pointing to your domain for example:

server1.ibtaus.info A yourIPhere

 

Just checked your DNS entry here
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=ibtaus.info

it looks like you have 2 MX records and the first one looks strange as you configured smtp.ibtaus.info as a CNAME.

I recommend to change them either to

Code:

ibtaus.info MX 10 yourIPhere

or

Code:

server1.ibtaus.info MX 10 yourIPhere

Try to fix all the red marked FAIL fields and you should be up an running.


For an example look here:
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=kynamoo.com

 

Yes, it's /etc/postfix/main.cf.

 

Thank you everyone for your great help. I finally got the mail server up and running.

Once again, thank you very much!!
