Ubuntu 18.04 ISPConfig 3.1.13 Falko Timme's Postfix relay guide is either outdated or not quite what I need. Since I never received an email in spam or otherwise after sending. What I am aiming for is to use my paid reseller account's paid services as a mail server for my ISPConfig enabled servers.
That guide is not for ISPConfig servers anyway. In ISPConfig, you just add a relay transport in the mail module and add the relay recipients in the mail module, just ensure that you did not add the domain as mail domain that you want to relay the email for.
So what I understand @till is that I want to add the domain as a mail client at in example given, my thehost.ninja provider's dns zone, and set up the relay in ISP Config under transports, but DO NOT add it as a domain set up for mail in ISP Config itself?
Could you maybe post pictures of a sample of how the DNS zone should look on ISP Config's end as well as a typical transport setup?
If you refer an external mail server where you want to relay emails to as a mail client, then yes. There is no dns zone setup needed in ispconfig when the domain uses the dns servers of your provider. beside that, you just add a transport with the target mail server as relay destination and the relay recipients. The mail transport setup fields are described in detail in the ispconfig manual.
Yeah... totally lost... Going to buy the manual, don't know if it will help me, I don't do well with docs. How can I send and receive email from roundcube, without adding it as a mail domain? What I wish to achieve is I want to be able to make a user on ISPConfig, and then have postfix route it through https://thehost.ninja which is a remote rented server running cPanel, from https://ns.delivery which is local to us, running ISPConfig I feel like I'm missing something simple and stupid on my end, but I am trying to figure it out.
Managed to get it working, not the way I envisioned though. Was kind of hoping there was a way to route mail through ISPConfig's roundcube, and not have to make an account and entire user on my remote server, but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles! Thanks Till
Roundcube is an email client, like outlook or Thunderbird, just with a browser based interface, it is not involved in email processing or routing.
Yeah... that's fine... but I can't even send mail to any domains on ISPConfig. I can send outgoing from The Host Ninja, which is cPanel, using the domains I have configured on NS Delivery which is ISPConfig, however I can not send back. I can send from any normal email like Gmail to `[email protected]` (A domain which is configured in ISPConfig on NS Delivery) but it never comes through... however, if I log into RoundCube on The Host Ninja using `[email protected]` I cannot actually send mail back out
Try to find out what is wrong with your setup. https://www.mail-tester.com/ https://mxtoolbox.com/ Code: host your-fqdn.here The last command should show mail is handled by mail.server.name.
