installing squirrelmail on Debian with ispconfig3

Hi,

I was wondering what the installation and configuration process is for squirrelmail on debian multiserver setup.

Fist I install squirrelmail :

then create symlink? :

then configure squirrelmail :

Do I then customise the following, using the same settings?, if not what should they be? :

I was also wondering where abouts I reconfigure squirrelmail to connect to my mail server instead of localhost.

Thanks very much for your time!

 

Yes.

I guess you have to configure this in menu item 2. Server Settings in squirrelmail-configure .

 

Hi Falko,

sorry to be a pain but I have a query about the settings I should use when configuring squirrelmail.

I have noticed that when setting the IMAP server for squirrelmail you do :

But during the setup for Debian, courier is not installed. Does this mean I should install courier?

If so should I follow step 9 of Perfect server install for Debian Lenny? :

Then step : 19.2 SquirrelMail?

Thanks very much for your help!

 

Well, yes, you must follow the whole tutorial, not just parts of it...

 

Hi Falko,

Just to say that I followed the multiserver setup guide on the ISPConfig manual and ISPConfig works great!

I am however having problems with email. I have seen where I went wrong with the squirrelmail config - use dovecot instead of courier.

I have setup a new domain and mail box in ISPConfig, I can login to squirrelmail, but cannot send or recieve emails. I get the error :

Any ideas?, Thanks very much!.

 

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

Hi Falko,

I have checked mail.log on my webserver and it is empty, I run netstat -tap and get :

mail.log on my mail server is quite full, the only thing I could find is :

Do you need the entire log?

The output of netstat -tap on my mail server is :

Thanks!

 

Hi,

Please find the entire weblog for yesterday :

I hope this helps! - Thank you

 

Hi Falko,

I am able to send emails internally, what modifications do I have to make to enable emails to be sent externally?

Many Thanks!

 

Please check if your server is blacklisted: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

 

Hi Falko,

I have checked the black list, and everything comes back as ok.

 

Ok, what's in your mail log when you try to send an email to a remote server?

 

Hi,

heres my maillog when I try to send mail externally

Thanks very much for your time!

 

Did you enable "Server requires authentication" in your email client?

 

Hi,

I have tried using outlook, but I am unsure what settings to use for incoming mail and outgoing mail, So I have used following settings :

Have checked box "my server requires authentication". (is this what you meant?)

Have outgoing mail smtp : port 25
Incoming mail pop3 : port 110

But still dont get incoming external mail, and get the following error when sending email :

Thanks very much for your time, its just that I am new to all of this, and need a little help!

 

Does mail.example.com point to the correct server? You can check that with

Code:

dig mail.example.com

 

Hi,

The result of dig mail.example.com is

This points to the external ip address of web.example.com (81.192.138.12)rather than the address of mail.example.com.

 

Then you must change the A record of mail.example.com so that it points to the correct IP.

 

Hey Falko,

Everything nows works!, i'd just like to thank you for all the help you have given me, i'm absolutely delighted. ISPConfig is superb!
