Ok, so making these changes would this but ok ... zone file for domain.co.uk Code: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA gemini.domain.co.uk. admin.domain.co.uk. ( 2005111702 ; serial, todays date + todays serial # 28800 ; refresh, seconds 7200 ; retry, seconds 604800 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds ; NS ns1.domain.co.uk. ; Inet Address of name server 1 NS ns1.domain.co.uk. ; Inet Address of name server 2 ; www MX 10 domain.co.uk. domain.co.uk. A 80.177.125.92 www A 80.177.125.92 ;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;; would i have to rename my server from gemini to ns1 ?
The A-Records where OK now. But the NS records still wont work. ns1.kd3sign.co.uk is a subdomain of kd3sign.co.uk. You need at least two domains if you want to run your own nameserver and the domain of your nameserver can never be hosted on your nameserver itself.
You can do that, that'S no problem. What Till wanted to say that you need a second domain that hosts the name servers for your first domain. Your zone file should look like this: Code: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA gemini.kd3sign.co.uk. admin.kd3sign.co.uk. ( 2005111702 ; serial, todays date + todays serial # 28800 ; refresh, seconds 7200 ; retry, seconds 604800 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds ; NS [B][COLOR="Red"]ns1.seconddomain.com.[/COLOR][/B] ; Inet Address of name server 1 NS [B][COLOR="Red"]ns2.seconddomain.com.[/COLOR][/B] ; Inet Address of name server 2 ; www MX 10 kd3sign.co.uk. kd3sign.co.uk. A 80.177.125.92 www A 80.177.125.92 ;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;;
Ok, is it possible for me to have a domain point to my server? , i have one domain, one ip and one server ... if not then how would i go about setting it up... ?
you have two options: 1) Get a second domain that points to your server. 2) Do not use the BIND daemon on your server to run the DNS service for your domain. Instaed you might use the DNS Servers of you domain registry.
Cool, thankx for all your help.. i can now send emails but i cannot send emails to other address, other domain that are not on my server ... ive hunted high and low on a few forums and cannot find a solution ... this is the error im getting .. Code: Jan 18 15:59:51 gemini postfix/smtpd[20728]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[195.173.16.82]: 554 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<[195.173.16.82]>
Im using Thunderbird, im guessing it when you use username and password when sending emails ... i tried it before and it wont accept the password even tho i type it in correct , i even login into ispcondif conrtol panel and changed and trying again but still no joy .... is there a certain username and password i have to use? this is the error ... Code: Jan 18 16:16:42 gemini postfix/smtpd[21657]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed
Do you use the correct username? This is something like web<id>_<username>, not an email address or an ISPConfig user.
yes i used the correct username and password, it just dont seem to want to accept it ... is there a way of looking at the virtusertable file ? or is there any other file that could be responsable ..
It's the file /etc/postfix/virtusertable. Is saslauthd running? Do you see it when you run Code: ps aux ?
No it wasnt running ... so i started saslauthd and still the same heres the log file ...

Did you follow any of the "Perfect Setup" guides on HowtoForge? Are you sure you followed them to the letter?
Yes i did, the whole thing start to finish, every thing works perfect cept email .. on private network i can send and recieve emails to any one but on public network i can only send emails to accounts that are on my server and not to other email addresses ... :'(
You have to enable "Server needs authentication" in the SMTP Server settings of your email client to send mails to domains that are not on your server.
Yea i have and the problem is that it keeps asking for password even tho both username(web1_user) and password are correct ....
The problem seems to be with saslauthd. I recommend that you re-do the saslauthd part from the tutorial, and please try to avoid typos.
To avoid typos the best way is to use putty as SSH client on windows to connect to your server. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Yea thats wha i mainly use ... Ah ... there was 3 packages missing .. cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-otp but after they've been installed and ive redone the whole part on postfix its still the same ... mail log Code: Jan 20 10:14:22 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: 195.173.16.82: hostname no-dns-yet.demon.co.uk verification failed: Name or service not known Jan 20 10:14:22 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: connect from unknown[195.173.16.82] Jan 20 10:14:26 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Jan 20 10:14:26 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:26 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:29 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Jan 20 10:14:29 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:29 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:32 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Jan 20 10:14:32 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:32 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:35 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed Jan 20 10:14:35 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:35 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: warning: unknown[195.173.16.82]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed Jan 20 10:14:38 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[195.173.16.82] Jan 20 10:14:38 gemini postfix/smtpd[11765]: disconnect from unknown[195.173.16.82] any ideas ? ....
