Hello. I was following tutorial (The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 15.04 (nginx, BIND, Dovecot and ISPConfig 3)) and installed ISPConfig, but my mail server is not working. I have MX record for domain bluedroid.lv When I sent mail by squirrelmail to any email adress (I tried local adress (info@bluedroid[dot]lv) and external (my gmail email), i did not received email messages. When I sent mail to info@bluedroid[dot]lv from gmail email, i dod not received email message too. Can you please help me? I can show you aney configuration/logs needed. Thank you/
Please take a look at the /var/log/mail.log of your server, which messages get added at the end of the file when you send a message?
I have cleared log file, to see what new will be added. After trying to send and receive email nothing were added to this file
Thats most likely caused by emptying the log. Please try to restart syslog and if this wont help then restart the server.
Thamk you for reply. I restarted rsyslog service and nothing changed - i tried to send email and log was empty anyway, after server reboot - the same thing. Maybe there's any other way to fix this?
Check if the file permissions are still correct. Maybe the log system cannot write to it. Compare the log permissions to the other log files (e. g. syslog, messages, mail.info etc.)
Thank you, I fixed permissions to this file. This is the log, when I tried to sent email to my gmail email and to local [email protected] email Code: Jul 28 06:19:11 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled) Jul 28 06:19:14 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/master[1115]: daemon started -- version 2.11.3, configuration /etc/postfix Jul 28 06:20:00 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: connect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: warning: table "mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf": empty query string -- ignored Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: 13D221212EA: client=webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/cleanup[1365]: 13D221212EA: message-id=<5474f73c82a52602050138f8c498c41c.squirrel@_> Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/qmgr[1117]: 13D221212EA: from=<[email protected]>, size=673, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: disconnect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtp[1366]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtp[1366]: 13D221212EA: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.2, delays=0.13/0.07/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, st$ Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=1372, secured, session=<$ Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=567 out=525 Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=1374, secured, session=<$ Jul 28 06:20:01 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=117 out=1541 Jul 28 06:20:03 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: connect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:03 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: lost connection after CONNECT from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:03 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: disconnect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:03 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<ExQ50O$ Jul 28 06:20:03 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<Hyc50O$ Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: connect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: warning: table "mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf": empty query string -- ignored Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: 6A8EA1212EB: client=webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/cleanup[1365]: 6A8EA1212EB: message-id=<ca0e37dbf53e8673dac98c7359ad8bc8.squirrel@_> Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/qmgr[1117]: 6A8EA1212EB: from=<[email protected]>, size=698, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtp[1366]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1354]: disconnect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtp[1366]: 6A8EA1212EB: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.07, delays=0.06/0/0/0, dsn=4.4$ Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=1430, secured, session=<$ Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=584 out=525 Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=1432, secured, session=<$ Jul 28 06:20:09 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=117 out=1541 When I tried to send email to info@bluedroid[dot]lv those lines were added Code: Jul 28 06:21:53 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1444]: connect from mail-la0-f54.google.com[209.85.215.54] Jul 28 06:21:53 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1444]: DB2D21212EC: client=mail-la0-f54.google.com[209.85.215.54] Jul 28 06:21:53 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/cleanup[1446]: DB2D21212EC: message-id=<CAAHmAzXHHdr4spibgmeth2keH64iUNsMqhvrqEmR2ajL0txTjg@mail.gmail.com> Jul 28 06:21:54 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/qmgr[1117]: DB2D21212EC: from=<[email protected]>, size=2069, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 28 06:21:54 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtpd[1444]: disconnect from mail-la0-f54.google.com[209.85.215.54] Jul 28 06:21:54 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtp[1447]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Jul 28 06:21:54 packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386 postfix/smtp[1447]: DB2D21212EC: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.2, delays=0.12/0.08/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, st$
It seams your amavis is not running. Try restarting amavis and check log files for errors on restart.
In addition it seams that your postfix might not be correctly configured (see the postfix mysql error message). You might try updating/reinstalling ISPConfig and choose reconfigure services "yes" during the process.
this is the output when i try to restart amavis and try following commands Code: root@packer-ubuntu-15-04-i386:~# service amavis restart Job for amavis.service failed.

This means, that your mail system is not configured correctly. Please re-install ISPConfig and set reconfigure yes.
and set a fully qualified domain (e.g. server1.example.com) as hostname. currently there is no hostname set or no fqdn hostname and thats why amavis cant start.
Thank you. I changed fqdn hostname, now it is correct and amavis can start - it started. I reinstalled ISPC and reconfigured it. Now when I try to send email, mail.log shows this: Code: Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/smtpd[2925]: connect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/smtpd[2925]: warning: table "mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf": empty query string -- ignored Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/smtpd[2925]: 25ED61212F5: client=webserver[::1] Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/cleanup[2934]: 25ED61212F5: message-id=<9d5323d08b573598fb9541dc26b7c2d4.squirrel@_> Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/smtpd[2925]: disconnect from webserver[::1] Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/qmgr[2765]: 25ED61212F5: from=<[email protected]>, size=690, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs postfix/error[2936]: 25ED61212F5: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.23, delays=0.13/0.03/0/0.06, dsn=4.4.1, status$ Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=3075, secured, session=<AlNsuu4bpgAAAAAAA$ Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=576 out=525 Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=3077, secured, session=<h9dyuu4bqAAAAAAAA$ Jul 28 08:37:07 gustavs dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=117 out=1541
