would i have to rename my server from gemini to ns1 ?

 

so i can not host a site with a domain on one server ?

 

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
;

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... ?

 

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 ...

Code:

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 ... :'(

 

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.

 

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 ...
