What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? Did you enable Maildir under Management > Server > Settings > Email?
Here is the results Falko, Maildir is on. I was following what till was telling the other guy and so I disabled maildir and waited an hour before enabling it again. I did a test mail and it disappeared. here is netstat -tap results linuxserver:~ # netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2183/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:netbios-ssn *:* LISTEN 3858/smbd tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 3513/portmap tcp 0 0 *:hosts2-ns *:* LISTEN 2782/ispconfig_http tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 8624/proftpd: (acce tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.co:domain *:* LISTEN 3881/named tcp 0 0 linuxserver:domain *:* LISTEN 3881/named tcp 0 0 localhost:domain *:* LISTEN 3881/named tcp 0 0 *:981 *:* LISTEN 3815/rpc.rquotad tcp 0 0 localhost:ipp *:* LISTEN 3120/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 8575/master tcp 0 0 *:afs3-callback *:* LISTEN 2740/nxagent tcp 0 0 localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 3881/named tcp 0 0 localhost:6010 *:* LISTEN 16598/sshd: nx@nott tcp 0 0 localhost:quotad *:* LISTEN 3554/famd tcp 0 0 *:microsoft-ds *:* LISTEN 3858/smbd tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:33975 208.49.199.19:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:45888 208.50.79.113:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:53060 208.49.199.35:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:35578 208.50.79.96:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:48770 208.50.79.114:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:47757 208.49.199.64:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 rdtech-online.com:58016 65.55.15.242:www-http ESTABLISHED 30691/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 localhost:commplex-link localhost:34765 ESTABLISHED 2740/nxagent tcp 0 0 localhost:38358 localhost:ssh ESTABLISHED 2558/ssh tcp 0 0 localhost:34765 localhost:commplex-link ESTABLISHED 16599/netcat tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 3357/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *op3s *:* LISTEN 3393/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *op3 *:* LISTEN 3376/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:imap *:* LISTEN 3341/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:www-http *:* LISTEN 1177/httpd2-prefork tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 3857/sshd tcp 0 0 localhost:ipp *:* LISTEN 3120/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 8575/master tcp 0 0 localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 3881/named tcp 0 0 localhost:6010 *:* LISTEN 16598/sshd: nx@nott tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 1177/httpd2-prefork tcp 0 2768 linuxserver:ssh ip67-91-213-178.z:husky ESTABLISHED 16596/sshd: nx [pri tcp 0 0 localhost:ssh localhost:38358 ESTABLISHED 2563/sshd: root@not linuxserver:~ #
man this email is just getting bigger and bigger in /var/spool/mail Is there a mysql association i need to check somewhere that connects Mysql users to a specific place to download there emails? all my users need there email. im stumped. Everything connects fine but this email is not being recieved and the email clients give no error messages. No changes were made to the server, it just stopped giving email on its own.
THis is commented out in my main.cf Why is the email going there then? Where do i put the email to download it? This is the based on the pefect setup for centos 5.1. Where should postfix be storing the emails???
Till told me to do it >.> i have at least got to extract these administrative emails or place them in the correct que folder so people get them. Where is the email's supposed to be stored if ispconfig doesnt store them in /var/spool/mail. Where is mailuser option supposed to be storing them?
I'm testing everything before it goes on production. I need it working. Does the ISPconfig PERFECT setup works after following the installation or is there more configuration to it.
If i uncomment Code: # The mail_spool_directory parameter specifies the directory where # UNIX-style mailboxes are kept. The default setting depends on the # system type. # #mail_spool_directory = /var/mail #mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail to attemp to download our emails, Will it break the mailuser option and make things worse?
Rockdrala, Did you install everything using the Perfect setup? Did your mail worked at first? I might be missing sometihng
Yes it does. I used the perfect setup on centos 5.1 and have been running it on VMware for months with no issues. Ive been using ISPconfig for months and its been working well. I havent had a serious issue until. The only issues ive had with ispconfig are all third party plugin related like Remoting Plugins. This is the first serious issue ive had. No one touched the server, no one got error messages from there email clients telling them they couldnt connect, the email just wasnt being download or found. It was working great up until June 8th then bam no emails. Email clients were still connecting to the server and not giving no errors. But no email is to be found. I dont know why it would start going to /var/spool/email if thats not the intended directory for using the "mailuser" option. The server wasnt touched internally by any staff. There seems to be a few hack attempts out of Korea but they dont seem to have stolen or used the server to send spam. I need to know about the ispconfig mail structure and how it stores email's using the mailuser subsystem by ISPconfig to temporary move people's email and permenantley put in a solution to to get everyone there email.
okay That sounds good. I followed the Perfect setup for Suse. Maybe I should redo the server with Centos 5
after you do the perfect setup follow these instructions and you should be ready. http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm
The one email account that does work out of all of them has a file in it called dovecot-uidlist in web1/user/web1_account/maildir i asked around and someone told me that the ISPconfig is not linking the uid list to the naming convention (web1_namehere). and i need to ask you guys how to correct the connection between the uid and the naming convention (web1_namehere). Until then all my emails are going to sit in /var/spool/mail.
I wish i would have heard this sooner. The email accounts that are not working dont have a procmail file. What controls the generation of this file?
Please try this: Code: postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' postconf -e 'mailbox_command =' /etc/init.d/postfix restart
I had to open all those emails that went /var/spool/mail and had to glean emails out of large single files with a notepad. Allright till / falko This is what i did. I deleted the email address in ispconfig. And then i restored the email address out of the recycle bin and it works now. Now tell me what caused this so it can be secured? By deleting and restoring the email address out of ispconfig refreshes what? Help me out here. I don't wanna pick through 80 mb files with a txt pad ever again.
