Hi I have this odd problem and I've been looking at other threads regarding sending and receiving email problems in this forum, non of them were close enough to be a solution. I have an Ubuntu Breezy Badger setup with postfix, courier POP3/IMAP, and I have set ISPConfig according to the perfect guide. I have Maildir ticked in ISPConfig settings. Here's the problem... I can send and receive emails within the local domain. I can send email to internet mails like yahoo, gmail, and pretty much to any other domain. However, I can not receive emails from outside. I get the following error in my mail log: Code: Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/local[21096]: warning: database /etc/aliases.db is older than source file /etc/aliases Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], top=0, retr=0, time=0 Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/pickup[21058]: CE31A58049A: uid=10005 from=<mdavid> Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/cleanup[21093]: CE31A58049A: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/local[21096]: 7C88F58004E: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/qmgr[21059]: CE31A58049A: from=<[email protected]>, size=389, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/cleanup[21093]: D0B3A580483: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/qmgr[21059]: D0B3A580483: from=<[email protected]>, size=1036, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/local[21096]: 7C88F58004E: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (forwarded as D0B3A580483) Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/qmgr[21059]: 7C88F58004E: removed Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/local[21121]: warning: database /etc/aliases.db is older than source file /etc/aliases Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/local[21096]: CE31A58049A: to=<admispconfig@localhost>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail -f-) Feb 11 16:15:43 localhost postfix/qmgr[21059]: CE31A58049A: removed Feb 11 16:15:58 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:15:58 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:15:58 localhost courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=support, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], top=3584, retr=0, time=0 Feb 11 16:16:28 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:16:28 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=mdavid, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:16:28 localhost courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=mdavid, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], top=12540, retr=0, time=0 Feb 11 16:16:32 localhost postfix/smtp[21122]: D0B3A580483: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.167.27], delay=49, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1139627791 y78si271394pyg) Feb 11 16:16:32 localhost postfix/qmgr[21059]: D0B3A580483: removed Feb 11 16:21:39 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:21:39 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=mdavid, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:21:39 localhost courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=mdavid, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], top=12540, retr=0, time=0 Feb 11 16:25:19 localhost postfix/smtpd[21468]: warning: database /etc/aliases.db is older than source file /etc/aliases Feb 11 16:25:19 localhost postfix/smtpd[21468]: connect from hercules.concept.net.nz[202.150.96.5] Feb 11 16:25:36 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:25:36 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN, user=mdavid, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 11 16:25:37 localhost courierpop3login: LOGOUT, user=mdavid, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], top=12540, retr=0, time=1 Feb 11 16:25:49 localhost postfix/smtpd[21468]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from hercules.concept.net.nz[202.150.96.5]: 554 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied;

I've been checking everything and all seem to be in order. I even tried all the suggestions in other threads and came back ok. I just can't find what's causing incoming mail from other domains to be blocked by POSTFIX
Run Code: newaliases to get rid of this aliases warning. Is webdeezsign.co.nz listed in /etc/postfix/local-host-names? What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf?
Yes webdeezsign.co.nz in listed in the /etc/postfix/local-host-names Code: ################################### # # ISPConfig local-host-names Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### localhost deezone.localdomain localhost.deezone.localdomain localhost.localdomain www.webdeezsign.co.nz webdeezsign.co.nz #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! #### Below is the /etc/postfix/main.cf Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) biff = no # appending .domain is the MUA's job. append_dot_mydomain = no # Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings #delay_warning_time = 4h myhostname = deezone.webdeezsign.co.nz alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = deezone.webdeezsign.co.nz, localhost.webdeezsign.co.nz, localhost #mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names relayhost = mynetworks = 192.168.1.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all mailbox_command = smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom home_mailbox = Maildir/ virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable #transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
Code: mydestination = deezone.webdeezsign.co.nz, localhost.webdeezsign.co.nz, localhost [B][COLOR="Red"]#mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names[/COLOR][/B] But you've commented out the correct mydestination line. It should be Code: mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names Please change that and restart Postfix.
I've made the changes in the main.cf as you suggested but now I cannot receive any emails at all, even from the local domain. I've checked the mailq and the following result came out: Code: DA34D5804A7 4581 Fri 17 06:04:52 [email protected] (connect to server1.webdeezsign.co.nz[202.180.104.57]: connection refused) [email protected] The above is just one of the emails that is stuck on the mailq and all have connection refused... even if I try sending a loop back email to [email protected] it stays in the que and won't deliver and then it say "connection refused."
Then add Code: deezone.webdeezsign.co.nz localhost.webdeezsign.co.nz localhost at the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names. Then you have all the domains you had in your old mydestination line in /etc/postfix/local-host-names, and it should work again. Don't forget to restart Postfix.
Just a quick question. Why is it my local-host-names gets overwritten after having entered additional names for quite some time. It's like it resets back to its default value. This causes my mail mailserver not to receive incoming mail properly. I'm on a dyanmic IP, I wonder if this has any effect on it?
ISPConfig overwrites that file whenever you change something in the ISPConfig interface. You must put your manual changes below the line Code: #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! #### then they won't be overwritten by ISPConfig!
