I used a clean install of fedora core 6, Ispconfig, and uebiMiau, the web server is working fine, now that my cheap ass finally paid the extra to get my isp to open ports 80 and 25. When I send a mail through the uebiMiau webmail, it says mail sent, doesnt give an undeliverable message and the mail never gets to the destination. I am an admitted noob and appreciate any help.
ok well no one responded. Now appearently I can send email, however I cannot recieve email??? how can I get the recieving workin??
Dou you get any entries in your mail logfile, when you send a email to your server? If yes, please post the messages in the logfile, if not, please check that the MX record of the domain points to your external IP address.
Till I checked the mail log and no record of any incoming, in the domain name the mx record is directed to my IP, when i send a mail from yahoo this is the response i get
Is port 25 open in the firewall? And please check that the MX record is correct: Code: dig mx xxxxxxxxx.com
port 25 is open and i checked the firewall which is open as well-- the box itself is on dmz at the moment while i try to get this thing working properly, firewall and selinux are off, and ispconfig firewall has the port forwarded as default.
i attached my mail log..... This was so much simpler when i was paying someone else to do it for me arghhh hehe
odd question should my dns settings in network be set to my isp's dns or to my yahoo's dns? and could that be the problem?
The DNS settings seem to be ok, and I can connect to your mail server: Code: mh1# telnet mail.rhwebhosting.com 25 Trying 24.185.88.195... Connected to ool-18b958c3.dyn.optonline.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 server1.rhwebhosting.com ESMTP Postfix ehlo localhost 250-server1.rhwebhosting.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Connection closed by foreign host. What's the output of Code: postconf -n ? One thing I noticed is that your server is listed on lots of blacklists because it's using a dynamic IP address: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Either you need a static IP address or you must relay all emails trough a SMTP relayserver of your provider.
till dumb question but how do i do that? and will a ddns service handle the static ip issue? I spoke to my provider yesterday and they said its included in my package and I just have to set it up
falko ok I did that now do I have to fix anything in my dns settings because of that change? or in ISP config? Im still not able to recieve emails
These are old logs. Sending should now work if you've implemented the relaying correctly. Please check with Code: dig mx yourdomain.com that the MX record for the domain you're sending to is correct. Also, is there some action in the mail log when you send a mail to your server?
falko sending always worked with most email addresses the problem is recieving arrrffff falko thanks the relay is working-- if your ever in new york hit me up and ill buy u a beer or 2 or 3 or 4
