email problems

hello

I have just installed ISPConfig and everything works except email. I'm able to create an email account from the control panel, but I can't login at mailuser or roundcube.

Mailuser says: Error: Could not get login password entry response

Hope someone are able to help me solving this problem.

 

Any errors in your mail log?

 

Sorry.. In guess your talking about /var/log/mail.log?

Yes. I tried to logon at mailuser and roundcube a couple of times. Following is represented in /var/log/mail.log:

Code:

Apr  7 17:08:59 vps courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr  7 17:08:59 vps courierpop3login: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
Apr  7 17:12:28 vps courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr  7 17:12:28 vps courierpop3login: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
Apr  7 17:13:32 vps imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr  7 17:13:32 vps imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
Apr  7 17:16:16 vps imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr  7 17:16:16 vps imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory

 

You must send an email first to new email accounts before you can fetch mails from them. The Maildir is created automatically when the first email arrives.

 

Still doesn't work. I tried to send a mail from my yahoo mail account.

Code:

I replaced my two domains with "domain.com" and "domain2.com". When I installed ISPConfig I entered "domain2.com" as my domain.
"vps.domain.com" is the domain used by my VPS provider.

The log shows the mail from my yahoo-mail to [email protected]

 

Is this maybe your problem? http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/9_33_en.html

 

O.K.. I need a domain used for ISPConfig only?

Can't find mydomain in /etc/postfix/main.cf btw.

 

I've changed myhostname to "vps.domain.com" and reloaded postfix(postfix reload).

The email address is at "domain2.com". Still doesn't work.

 

What's the value of myorigin?
What's the output of

Code:

postconf -d | grep mydomain

?

 

myorgin = /etc/mailname

cat /etc/mailname:

Code:

vps.[COLOR="Red"]domain.com[/COLOR]

postconf -d | grep mydomain:

Code:

append_dot_mydomain = yes
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mydomain = [COLOR="Red"]domain.com[/COLOR]

 

I suggest that you get a "technical" domain, i.e., a domain that you use only for naming your servers and not for email, web sites, etc. You can then use that domain in myorigin, myhostname, and mydomain.

 

Okay.. I'll do so. Thank you very much for helping.
