Email settings correct?

Hello,
I've decided to leave webmail round cube out, I removed it. Just using a email client on the desktop. Debian is running good further ISPconfig.
Please help to understand this correct. So at the Provider where I have the domain there the DNS have A records pointing towards the IP at strato, so like

Code:

@     A     123.123.123.123
mail  A      123.123.123.123
pop    A    123.123.123.123
smtp  A    123.123.123.123
@     MX   123.123.123.123

I only changed the IP addresses there.
In ISPconfig I've added an Email domain:

Code:

server: h123456.stratoserver.net
client: blablabla
Domain: mywebsite.com
Spamfilter: Normal

created a mailbox:

Code:

 [email protected] Password: bliebblieb

It does not work with desktop email client.
Not sure if needed, but created a DNS zone in ISPconfig and only added MX record

Code:

server: stratoserver
zone: mywebsite.com
NS: NS1.ywebsite.com

added MX record

Code:

hostname: mywebsite.com
mailserver hostname: mail.mywebsite.com
active is on

And I tried the wizard, but I must be putting something wrong.
Still not working.
Can please anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot.

 

Thanks Jesse and Till, the MX you mean the MX at the domain provider right? which points to the mail.mywebsite.com on the VPS.
I had put the IP there, so now I changed it as you suggested.
I've also looked in the manual but I was a bit confused. I will try it out.

ok following the tut if I enter the command

Code:

host
mywebsite.com has adress 123.123.123.123
mywebsite.com mail is handled by 10 mail.mywesite.com.mywebsite.com.

I got double website

 

Maybe missing dot at end of mail.mywebsite.com. My signature has link to DNS tutorial that explains this, among other things.

 

I've added the dot. Will check your tutorial too. Thanks!

***edit*** does this also take many hours before it works, like with DNS changes. Or should this be fairly immediately?

 

Host refers now to:

Code:

mywebsite.com mail is handled by 10 mail.mywebsite.com

reverse

Code:

host 123.123.123.123 (ip of strato server)
216.216.216.216.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer h123456.stratoserver.net.

in thunderbird t does not work yet. I'm quite confused reading the tuts what to do in ispconfig.
I think now I have to create a zone and use ns1.mywebsite.com as nameserver or should that be the strato one.
Well I'll just try.

 

Which one is the name server? What did you enter as name server when registering the domain?
If you have forgotten, command

Code:

whois mydomain.com | less 

should show name server or nserver or similar lines that show which are the name servers.
My signature has also link to e-mail server setup Tutorial.

 

NS1-1.alfahost.nl and NS2-2.alfahost.nl is the nameserver of the provider where the domain is registered.
h123456.stratoserver.net is where the vps is hosted which should be then the FQDN if i'm correct.

The A record at alfhost points to the IP of the VPS.
The MX record at alfahost points to mail.mywebsite.com.

Then in ISPconfig I created the email domain mail.mywebsite.com. But also a zone with NS1.mywebsite.com.
The server is set as h123456.stratoserver.com

 

If name service is at alfahost.nl do not create name service zones on your ISPConfig. That just makes things worse.
Have you read the DNS and e-mail tutorials in my signature?
Try entering your real domain name in DNS and e-mail checker website tools, like https://intodns.com/ https://mxtoolbox.com/, maybe that makes the setup clear. I do not understand your name service setup, I hope you are not just randomly pointing things around.

 

I have partly read your tutorials Taleman, A bit short of time due to work next to this. But I will continue on tat. I've also checked those links to check the dns settings which to me looked ok for the most parts.
The real domain is 5upmusic.com and IP 81.169.204.216.
Thanks for your help guys.

 

Thanks for checking.
(meanwhile i'm checking the tut of Taleman)

Is this something to worry about? mail-error

Code:

Nov 15 20:20:30 h123456 postfix/postfix-script[16901]: fatal: cannot execute /usr/sbin/postconf!
Nov 16 11:35:39 h123456 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): Process 5360 is ignoring idle SIGINT

Or can I disregard?
Thanks a lot.

 

Read the tutorials, then we shall resolve the remaining problems.

 

I've read both, I've added DKIM to alfahost dns TXT record with default_domainkey as name, and put the whole key as written in the lower field into rdata.
I'm getting this message:

Code:

Host default._domainkey.5upmusic.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Thing I dont understand is, do I or do I not create any record in ISPconfig?
Thanks.

 

I wrote in #11:

 

Yes you did, I know. But because I read it in the howto's, confuses me.

Seems Strato has port 465 and 587 closed. But probably it could work with other ports?

Not that it helps but in

Code:

nano /etc/postfix/master.cf

I had this line not uncommented, so removed the #

Code:

submission inet n - - - - smtpd

 

Oh man, I need to buy some glasses I think.
I forgot another # in master.cf, now it works great!
Wasted a lot of time just by not looking good.

Thanks for your patience!
