Hi, I followed this tutorial exactly https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-7-x86_64-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p2 and everything is working great! I can even send emails out to my personal gmail account from my server. however when i try to send from my gmail back to the server (to the account i set up in ispconfig) the email never arrives. i dont know why nor what to do. the domain name is wellspringsoflife.com and i am trying to email [email protected] any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. thank you Ben
Please take a look into the /var/log/maillog file if you find any error there after you send a email from gmail.
here are the results: [binyamin@server1 ~]$ tail -n40 /var/log/maillog Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .cab at /usr/bin/cabextract Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Internal decoder for .tnef Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .zip at /usr/bin/7za Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .kmz at /usr/bin/7za Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .7z at /usr/bin/7za Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .jar at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .rar at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .swf at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .lha at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .iso at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .exe at /usr/bin/unarj Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: No decoder for .lz4 Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Using primary internal av scanner code for ClamAV-clamd Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found secondary av scanner ClamAV-clamscan at /usr/bin/clamscan Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Deleting db files __db.001,__db.002,__db.003,snmp.db,nanny.db in /var/spool/amavisd/db Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Creating db in /var/spool/amavisd/db/; BerkeleyDB 0.51, libdb 5.3 Jun 23 08:08:08 server1 clamd[2014]: Loaded 3856742 signatures.

I also dont get any returned message in gmail saying that the message wasnt delivered! can it have anything to do with my dns setting? these are my setting A ipv4.wellspringsoflife.com. 50.138.64.164 0 86400 A mail.wellspringsoflife.com. 50.138.64.164 0 3600 A ns1 50.138.64.164 0 86400 A ns1.wellspringsoflife.com. 50.138.64.164 0 86400 A ns2 50.138.64.164 0 86400 A server1.wellspringsoflife.com. 50.138.64.164 0 86400 A webmail.wellspringsoflife.com. 50.138.64.164 0 86400 A wellspringsoflife.com. 50.138.64.164 0 3600 A www 50.138.64.164 0 3600 CNAME ftp.wellspringsoflife.com. wellspringsoflife.com. 0 86400 MX wellspringsoflife.com. mail.wellspringsoflife.com. 10 3600 NS wellspringsoflife.com. ns1.wellspringsoflife.com. 0 3600 NS wellspringsoflife.com. ns2.wellspringsoflife.com. 0 3600 PTR mail.wellspringsoflife.com c-50-138-64-164.hsd1.fl.comcast.net. 0 86400 TXT wellspringsoflife.com. "v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:50.138.64.164 -all" 0 86400 i am using comcast xfinity internet for my house. can that be causing something? for sending emails which works, during the install of roundcube i added the smtp.comcast.net and put my comcast username and password using port 587 so sending emails works just fine but not receiving!
here are the logs after login into roundcube to see if my email came in from gmail: tail -n40 /var/log/maillog Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .cab at /usr/bin/cabextract Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Internal decoder for .tnef Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .zip at /usr/bin/7za Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .kmz at /usr/bin/7za Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .7z at /usr/bin/7za Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .jar at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .rar at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .swf at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .lha at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .iso at /usr/bin/7z Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found decoder for .exe at /usr/bin/unarj Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: No decoder for .lz4 Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Using primary internal av scanner code for ClamAV-clamd Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Found secondary av scanner ClamAV-clamscan at /usr/bin/clamscan Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Deleting db files __db.001,__db.002,__db.003,snmp.db,nanny.db in /var/spool/amavisd/db Jun 23 08:08:04 server1 amavis[2533]: Creating db in /var/spool/amavisd/db/; BerkeleyDB 0.51, libdb 5.3 Jun 23 08:08:08 server1 clamd[2014]: Loaded 3856742 signatures.
