Hi, Anybody that can tell me what these 2 warnings from the mail-log mean - Can't receive mail by the way: Relay access denied warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled It's the "relay" warning which is the reason I can't receive the mails, I guess.. In the ISPconfig CP "System > Server Config > Mail" there is an "error" when I leave the site: ERROR Please specify valid RBL hostnames. Added: zen.spamhaus.org - Error message in ISPconfig CP went away. but still not receiving any mail... Have been reading several sites, tutotials and manuals - but still I am very much i doubt. Is it in the shell there need to be changes or is it in the ISPconfig3 CP? Heres some of the sites I found regarding this problem: 1. ISPconfig3 Manual: page 189 "4.7.6.4 Relay Recipients" 2. ISPconfig3 Manual: page 225 "Server > Server Config > Mail" Relay Host/Relay User 3. http://beginlinux.com/server_training/mail-server/1041-postfix-mail-server-set-up "4. Configure Relays" 4. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53319 Where the mydestination line in your main.cf was the problem 5. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19563-01/819-4428/bgavb/index.html "18.7.4 To Use DNS Lookups Including RBL Checking for SMTP Relay Blocking" Could nr "5" be a solution to the second error message - and then maybe both error messages are related?: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled Checked for blacklisting: Code: Blacklist Reason TTL ResponseTime Hide OK AHBL 62 OK ASPEWS 31 OK BACKSCATTERER 62 OK BARRACUDA 62 OK BBFHL1 47 OK BBFHL2 47 OK BLOCKLIST.DE 62 OK BSB 16 OK BURNT-TECH 16 OK CASA-CBL 218 OK CASA-CBLPLUS 234 OK CBL 31 OK CHOON 234 OK DNS-SERVICIOS 140 OK EFnet RBL 31 OK IMP-SPAM 140 OK INPS_DE 296 OK INTERSERVER 47 OK ivmSIP 16 OK ivmSIP24 16 OK JIPPG 156 OK LASHBACK 47 OK MAILSPIKE-BL 140 OK MAILSPIKE-Z 140 OK NIXSPAM 328 OK NOMOREFUNN 140 OK NoSolicitado 16 OK PSBL 94 OK RATS-Dyna 16 OK RATS-NoPtr 78 OK RATS-Spam 78 OK REDHAWK 62 OK SEM-BACKSCATTER 47 OK SEM-BLACK 16 OK SORBS-DUHL 47 OK SORBS-SPAM 47 OK SORBS-WEB 47 OK SPAMCANNIBAL 47 OK SPAMCOP 47 OK Spamhaus-ZEN 62 OK TRUNCATE 109 OK UCEPROTECTL1 47 OK UCEPROTECTL2 47 OK UCEPROTECTL3 62 OK WPBL 0 Please point me in the right direction o) Kind Regards, Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Service Information: Internet Line/Used only for Internet-Servers.

It's a warning, not an error. You eliminate it by removing NIS lookups. First, find out what setting is using NIS: $ postconf | grep nis: This outputs something like alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases nis:mail.aliases or alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases nis:mail.aliases Then, disable NIS lookups (as root): # postconf -e alias_maps=hash:/etc/aliases or # postconf -e alias_maps=hash:/etc/mail/aliases The exact command depends on "postconf | grep nis:" output. First thing you should do is to check if SMTP is up and running. On mail server you can check this with this command... Can you see SMTP? (Usually on port 25.) If that is up then you are most likely dealing with a DNS problem (NIS lookups seem to indicate that anyway.)
Hi Sam, Thanks for your reply. I will try that command right now to see what I can learn from that. Thanks for the fix above.
