Cannot receive mail with any client?

I am unable to receive email when using any client, however, the email forward function is working.

I do see that the emails are in the respective web "new" directory, but can't pick them up from UebiMiau, Outlook, etc. Sending mail works fine.

Also, what postfix setting determines what the pop and smtp settings should be when configuring an email client?

Thanks...

 

Any errors in your mail log?
What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

You're using the mbox format. Make sure that Maildir is disabled under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.

 

It was selected so I deselected it. Do I need to restart the mail server or ISPConfig to get the change to take place because I still have not seen any emails come in since changing it? I sent another test email too.

 

Still no luck by disabling maildir.

Here is an email kicked back from postfix when I sent an email from my Yahoo account (I have removed some private detail):

First set

Code:

myorigin = /etc/mailname

to

Code:

myorigin = server2.domain1.com

And then delete

Code:

home_mailbox = Maildir/

because otherwise emails will still be delivered to Maildir, no matter of Maildir is disabled in ISPConfig.
Restart Postfix afterwards.

 

Hats off to you falko, that did the trick. I don't know why I missed this in the originial setup. Its probably best that I don't even ask...

Thanks very much!

 

Another issue is that some of the email accounts reject incoming emails which bounces back the email to the sender saying that "User has exceeded quota." or something similar.

I have this particular account unrestricted at "-1" or "unlimited".

Any ideas?

 

They had no attachments or text body. They were just test messages for a new web. All settings are set to -1, even the webspace. I noticed that in Uebimaiu, the user's quota graph does not even show.

 

What's the output of

Code:

repquota -avug | grep <web group>

?

 

web2 has no issues, but web6 is the one that cannot receive mail due to "quota exceeded" message.

Code:

[root@server2 ~]# repquota -avug | grep web2
web2_user1  --       4       0       0              1     0     0
web2        --       4       0       0              1     0     0
[root@server2 ~]# repquota -avug | grep web6
web6_user1 --       8       0       0              1     0     0
web6       --       8       0       0              1     0     0

 

Can you post the .procmailrc file of web6_user1? It's in his homedir.

 

For some reason there is a web6_ directory as well as the web6_user1 directory. I could only find the procmailrc file in the web6_ directory and not the web6_user1 directory.

Here are the contents:

Code:

## MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
## DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
## ORGMAIL=$MAILDIR

INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.mailsize.rc
## INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.quota.rc
INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.antivirus.rc
INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.local-rules.rc
INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.html-trap.rc
INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.spamassassin.rc
## INCLUDERC=/var/www/web6/user/web6_user1/.autoresponder.rc

 

Yes, I can see all hidden files and it is not there in the web6 user1 directory.

I did find why there was a web6_ directory. It was in the recycling bin in ISPConig. I emtpied the recycling bin and the directory was deleted.

I restarted the mail server and tried to access the email after sending a test message to web6_user1 from my Yahoo account and also one from the web6_user1 account itself. I received the one from web6_user1, but not the Yahoo account.

Does this shed any more light? Again, this is the only web that is having trouble. Others are fine.
