Ok i am using kmail. And i put in all the information you said the message is being sent (it goes into my sent items, but then i can't receive the message. I created a email account in ispconfig like you guys said. But When i go to test it i don't get any messages. it says that there is no new mail in imap. Is it ok that i am sending the test message to my self is that ok??? Like i created [email protected] and to test i send a message to [email protected]. Well so far so good i just need to get this to work. if you need any more infor i will provide it.
Have you set mbox / maildir delivery in ispconfig corresponding to your pop3 and imap daemon? If you use courier, it must be maildir. Did you get any errors in your mail log?
Ok well i followed this to set up my email account http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/manual_en/manual_kunde_en_src.htm#4_2_2 Do i have to set up the mbox / maildir in the website or client side of ispconfig or is it in the email account set up. And it didnt tell me how to set the mbox / maildir delivery in ispconfig. And the type of imap is the one that the perfect guide to madrake told me to use. looking at my mail log i dont get any errors but i might be doing it wrong, so can you tell me the way to do it and that will make sure i am checking the right thing.
You must enable/disable Maildir in ISPConfig under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email. If you've followed the Mandrake tutorial, then Maildir should be disabled. What's in your mail log when you send an email to [email protected]?
So you are saying i need to disable maildir for it to work. Well i check the mailq and all the messages sitting there are saying host or domain name not found name service erro for name=netlan.com type mx: host not found try again. Were all do i need to check the host name and domain name?? i mad sure that everything says net lab. I am just not understanding this error. Does it mean that the computers domian name / host is wrong or is my configuration in ispconf is wrong?? Ok what is the command to check the log file?? This is the one i am using tail -f /var/log/syslog
The error message sais, that you do not have an mx DNS record for your domain netlan.com pointing to your mailserver.
ok i changed that i went into dns manager and changed the settings server: server 1 Domain (SOA): netlan.com IP:192.168.1.1 I left the options tab allone. I edited the records tab: I scrolled down to mx records and i clicked on made new one hostname:www (not sure what to put here but i left it the same as i put in the i think server setup or client host name) mailserver:netlan.com (not sure if this needs to be IP address) then i ran the command tail -f /var/log/syslog and i got this.

ok i did what that link said to do and it work to some extent now i get this when i send a message. It seems that postfix is removing the message before i can get in my email client. I am using mozilla thunderbird dec 7 14:58:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[5911]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.2] Dec 7 14:58:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[5911]: D70A3904C5: client=unknown[192.168.1.2], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=web1_rick Dec 7 14:58:07 localhost postfix/cleanup[6122]: D70A3904C5: message-id=<[email protected]> Dec 7 14:58:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[5911]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.1.2] Dec 7 14:58:08 localhost postfix/qmgr[4877]: D70A3904C5: from=<[email protected]>, size=542, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 7 14:58:08 localhost postfix/local[6123]: D70A3904C5: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Dec 7 14:58:08 localhost postfix/qmgr[4877]: D70A3904C5: removed Dec 7 14:58:50 localhost imapd[6247]: imap service init from 192.168.1.1 Dec 7 14:59:02 localhost imapd[6247]: Authenticated user=web1_james host=netlan.com [192.168.1.1] This is when i send it from another computer. i cant get the email then. So i thought i needed to make a new user so i made [email protected] under the email tab under the website. and this is what i get when i try to send to [email protected] Dec 7 15:00:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[6396]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from netlan.com[192.168.1.1]: 450 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.1.1]> Dec 7 15:01:01 localhost CROND[6551]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) The authentication is working as far as i can see i am not getting any errors.
First: Yes it does look good but were did it go, because then when i go to get the email i dont see anything in my inbox and i have tried both checking and unchecking the maildir in the management tab. LOL were is the mailbox because there is nothing in the inbox. Second: no he was not in the virtusertable ([email protected]) so i added him were it says to make manual entries below this line. But also somthing strange above that i have a list of emails that are weird looking this is my virtusertable file: ########################### [email protected] web1_james [email protected] web1_james [email protected] web1_james [email protected] web1_james [email protected] web1_rick [email protected] web1_rick [email protected] web1_rick [email protected] web1_rick #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ##### [email protected] web1_james [email protected] web1_rick What is with all the @www.netlan.com and demo.netlan.com i dont know were they came from??
Do not add email addresses to virtusertable manually where the domain is configured in ISPCOnfig. What you are missing is the Co-Domain netlan.com (with empty host field) for the webiste www.netlan.com. Delete your manual entries in virtusertable first. Check your co-domains for the wbsite www.netlan.com. I'am sure they are there
