    Is it a public IP address, or a local one? What's the output of
    Code:
    ifconfig
    ?

    I get this when I try to connect to your server:

    Code:
    mh1:~# telnet zcubed.co.uk 25
    Trying 70.147.153.69...
    Connected to adsl-070-147-153-069.sip.clt.bellsouth.net.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    And then it hangs...

    What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf (please strip out the comments)? Is myhostname or mydomain set?

    one other thing that i find strange is that i can emails perfectly fine from the webmail client??? i don't know what smtp server the webmail uses or if i'm perhaps trying to use an incorrect smtp server ... the smtp i'm trying to use is zcubed.co.uk is there anyway to check the CONF for the webmail system as the preferences don't give any information what so ever... is it user error or a relay error??

    Thanks

    The webmail uses lawyas your local smtp server trough the "sendmail" command (which is provided by postfix and sendmail).

    Are you sure this is a DNS server? Because I get this:

    mh1:~# dig @70.147.153.65 google.de

    Code:
    ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @70.147.153.65 google.de
    ;; global options:  printcmd
    ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
    Please try this in /etc/resolv.conf instead:

    Code:
    nameserver 145.253.2.75
    nameserver 193.174.32.18
    nameserver 194.25.0.60

    That ip is the IP of my Router apparently.

    What's in your mail log?
     
  17. Griff

    No joke that's the exact contents of my mail.log file

    That's from mail.log.ispconfigsave
    the last time i rebooted the server was yesterday so it should have something in some of the mail logs shouldn't it?

    from mail.log.0
    the final few lines of the logs

    This means that the mails don't even arrive or go through your server, most likely because of wrong DNS records, a misconfigured firewall, etc.
    Please check your DNS records again with dig.

    And you don't see anything in your mail log when you send a mail? :confused: Then you should check the settings in your email client. What do you use as SMTP server in your email client? Did you try the IP address (70.147.153.69) to go sure it's not a DNS issue?
