I finally managed to get ISPConfig up and running. My problem is that I can't get mail to work. I have created a site and an E-mail. In my mailclient, in this case Outlook, I have set up an emailaccount, but when I test the setting it does't work (can't find the servers). What am I supposed to write i server for outgoing and incoming mail? Let say my domain is abc.dk?
Well first you would put in the ip address for your mail server ni the smtp and pop boxes of any mail client. But first can you post the contents of your mail log and mail configuration file. Can you telnet to your mail server? telnet localhost 25 as per the setup guides.
Did you get an error message in Outlook? Have you checked the Checkbox "SMTP Server needs Authentication" in outlook? The server for outgoing and incoming mail is your IP Address or any domain that pints with an A-Record to your server.
I am not able to telnet I put my IP in out and incoming mailservers I doublet checked that my router forwards port 25 and 110 to the server I doubelt checked that my firewall allows pop3 and smpt and telnet When I test the mailsettings i Outlook, I get this message "Outlook could not establish connection for outgoing mail"
Is your client PC in the same network as your ISPConfig server? In this case use the internal IP address of your ISPConfig server.
That is what I am trying to do. The servers IP is 192.168.1.15, and the client is 192.168.1.12. I am able på ping the server internaly but not from the outside telnet 192.168.1.15 25 Connect failed
I like to cover all the bases and start from the beginning... just to rule out a few things.... On the mail server at the command prompt type telnet localhost 25 and make sure that the mail server is running.
[root@tux1 /]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to tux1 (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 tux1 ESMTP Postfix (2.1.5) (Mandrakelinux) quit 221 Bye Connection closed by foreign host.
Can you make sure that any firewalls are turned off, this includes your os firewalls and ISPConfig firewalls.
All firewalls are turned off (not something that I like very much) I seriously doubt that that is where the problem is
hummmmmm... what I would be doing now is checking the configuration files for ftp and the mail server (proftp and postfix ?????) and see if its setup to listen on all interfaces. also what does ps -tap show... I think thats the command.
If you mean the command that shows which service is listening on which port, the command is: 'netstat -tap'

So let me recap..... You cant: ping the server telent to the server get mail working in any way all firewalls are turned off and netstat -tap brings back what we expect....... I think the problem lies with not being able to ping the server..... let me have a think and a play on my server and see if I can come up with anything
I can ping my server from the inside (192.168.1.15) but not from the outside. I am very grateful that you take the time to help me I can telnet from server to server, but not inside or outside. Mail does not work in any way
Must be a firewall issue. If you follow the "Perfect Setup" howtos on HowtoForge to the letter (of course you have to replace the IP addresses and hostnames with your own details), you shouldn't have any problems. The easiest way to follow such a howto is to use PuTTY (SSH client) in your windows machine and copy and paste all the commands from the tutorial...
