dedicated mailserver issue

okay, i moved my mail server to a dedicated server. i moved and copied all the files as in Falkos how to move ispconfig post. everything moved. the issue im having is, when i send email to [email protected] it always goes into [email protected]. no matter what email address i send it too or domain i send it too on the mail server. here is an excerpt from the log

Apr 13 06:17:48 mail postfix/qmgr[5300]: 098A71020049: from=<[email protected]>, size=1887, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Apr 13 06:17:48 mail postfix/local[6502]: 098A71020049: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox)
Apr 13 06:17:48 mail postfix/qmgr[5300]: 098A71020049: removed
Apr 13 06:17:48 mail postfix/smtpd[6479]: disconnect from imo-m20.mx.aol.com[64.12.137.1]




the orig_to line is the real addres i was sending too. but it always goes to the to address listed above. ITs like the mapping is wrong but i moved everything as told.

 

i just tried to create a new email account, it saves in ispconfig liek it should, but does not add it tot the postfix user table at all.

 

i created another test user and sent another email to the server. this is all that was in the log you asked about

ispconfig does not show any errors. could it hae been when i transferred over the user tables for postfix?

i created a test email account and still the same problem. i had a look in the virtual user files for post fix and it does not show up there. but it does show up in ispconfig.

 

Which distribution did you use on the old server, and which one on the new?
What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf? What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /root/ispconfig

?

Please do this:

Code:

rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

Do you get any error messages?

 

[root@mail ~]# rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
[root@mail ~]# /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

It seems the ISPConfig binaries that you moved from your old to your new server don't run there.
Please download ISPConfig 2.2.9 again and install it on your new server (don't remove the existing ISPConfig installation!). The installler will notice that ISPConfig is already installed and perform an update. During the update it will compile new binaries that should work on the new system.
Don't forget to back up your data before you do this.

 

actually i did download a new ispconfig install. the 2.2.9 i installed was from the same file i used to install it on the old server.

does that explain why postfix only delivers email to that one virtual account not matter what email address or domain i send it too?

 

okay i did as asked and its a no go. it will not add the user to the system or to the postfix virtual table. its liek the peromissions of the files are wrong for the files i edited. they all have the same settings of the old server though.... I have moved ispconfig before the same way and have not had any trouble.

 

That's strange. You could try to update to the latest ISPConfig version. Maybe that helps.

 

im going to reinstall the server. see if a default install will work, then move over my old setup and see if that helps.

 

okay i reinstalled averythign and it now works EXCEPT email. it still sends email no matter what the domain is to one email box on a totally different name.

how this mail server is setup is, it has a private ip behind a router wilh ports 110 and 25 forwarded tot he private ip. then in ispconfig i selected the internal ip for all of the websites. is this the correct way of doing it? i can send email fine, its just reaciving it it all goes to the wrong account.

 

yes, the domain of the server is mail.domaina.com


the account all the email is going to is [email protected] with catchall.

 

Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/9_33_en.html

 

it is just like it should be with no domain entered
