    hello,

    first of all great software.

    I am able to get everything running EXCEPT receiving emails. At one point i was able to recieve but not send. Now i am able to send but I can not recieve and I can not figure out what is causing the issue.

    Can someone please post some idea how I can fix this or give some ideas as to where to look?

    Thanks in advance

    1) Which ISPConfig version do you use?

    Take a look in the mail log file.

    Hi till,

    ISPConfig - 2.2.29

    I did look through the logs and it seems that the incoming emails arent even hitting my box. If I go to further in the history of the logs I can see it hitting my box. I can see my client accessing the mail system to check for messages which it does successfully but it does not see any new emails.

    ok so I can email via outlook express with the SMTP settings but whenever I try to send the mail otherwise I get a connection refused.


    For example, I went to another mailserver tried to send the email and in the logs of the working server i saw


    Code:
    Mar 15 13:58:51 sendingemail sendmail[2831]: n2FHwoMn002829: to=<[email protected]>, ctladdr=<[email protected]> (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=120585, relay=ns1.problemserver.com. [12.xxx.xxx.xxx], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by ns1.problemserver.com.
    
    
    It seems like postfix is not listening on the correct hostname or ip?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    Also, is ns1.problemserver.com pointing to the correct server?
