Hello everyone! can someone please help me! ... I'm a newbie, and I'm looking after this server which was setup by someone else. The email server is running fedra core 4, with services like postfix, apache, dovecot, spamassassin, amavis among others. The firewall in the LAN is running IPCop. the email server is unable to receive nor send any email outside the LAN nor between the users inside the the LAN. I tried to ping the firewall from the email server, and it says "Destination port unreachable" I want to fix this first. Can someone please help me. If you need me to run some commands on the server, I will be more than happy to assist! cheers
Hi, Can you telnet your Server on port 25 ? also run chkconfig --list |more to check your sendmail run level. Then check that the Sendmail deamon is running. BRGDS Johan
I can't telnet to the localhost on port 25. The output is pasted below Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. Thank you in advance!
pasted below, is the result from running the command chkconfig --list |more NetworkManager 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff NetworkManagerDispatcher 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff acpid 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff amavisd 0ff 1ff 2n 3ff 4n 5n 6ff anacron 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff apmd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff atd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff auditd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff autofs 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff autogroup 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff autohome 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff bluetooth 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff clamd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff cpuspeed 0ff 1n 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff crond 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff cups 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff dhcdbd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff diskdump 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff dovecot 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff gpm 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff haldaemon 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff httpd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff iptables 0ff 1ff 2n 3ff 4n 5n 6ff irda 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff isdn 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff kudzu 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff mdmonitor 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff mdmpd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff messagebus 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff named 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff netdump 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff netfs 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff netplugd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff network 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff nfs 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff nfslock 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff nscd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff ntpd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff pcmcia 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff portmap 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff postfix 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff psacct 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff rdisc 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff rhnsd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff rpcgssd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff rpcidmapd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5n 6ff rpcsvcgssd 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff saslauthd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff smb 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff spamassassin 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4ff 5ff 6ff sshd 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff syslog 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff webmin 0ff 1ff 2ff 3n 4n 5ff 6ff winbind 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff ypbind 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff yum 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff

Something is wrong with your mysql setup. Does mysql work if you use the command line and test some mysql commands? In the postfix configuration files: no typo in the mysql commands?
Like I said, I'm really new to these stuff. If you could just give me some MySQL commands to run and paste out the output, that would be great! cheers
This server was setup by someone else who doesn't work here anymore. Can you help me check postfix and see if mysql is supported? How?
Take a look at this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier It was written for FC 5, but I hope that FC 4 is similar.
