    ISPConfig configuration or ipcop firewall being the cause of trouble?

    Hi,

    I currently have IPCop 1.4.8 running with ISPConfig with the WebMail addon on the ORANGE network. I have ports 25 and 110 being forwarded from the firewall to ISPConfig. While I work from the Green network side I can connect to webmail with no trouble. Sending and Recieving E-mail through Thunderbird works fine.

    When I try to connect to webmail from outside the network I can see firefox connecting first to the firewall then it tries to connect to ISPConfig (192.169.30.10) and fails. Connecting with Thunderbird I am able to recieve e-mails from ISPConfig. When I send E-mails it looks like it worked but the e-mail does not appear anywhere.

    Is there something on the ISPConfig side that I need to change or on the firewall?

    Thanks,
    Mel

    Actually I found that the inability to access the webmail part not to be on the firewall side. I did some digging in the config files in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php and found this line:

    $go_info["server"]["server_url"] = "https://192.169.30.10:81";

    I changed that to be the domain used to access the web site and now I can access webmail from remote locations.:D

    Now I still need to figure out how to send e-mails from outside the firewall and how to fix the dates on the webmail.:confused: If you have any thoughts please post!

    Thanks,
    Mel

    This means you didn't enter the right information during the installation. It's not a bug of ISPConfig.:D

    You must forward port 25 from IPCop to your ISPConfig server. And the DNS records for your domain must point to IPCop's public IP address.

    Never claimed it was a bug ;)

    I figured out my second problem having to do with e-mail from outside the firewall. I created two sites through ISPConfig. One a test site and the other which will be our real site once the DNS is changed on the current domain name registration. Well, the e-mail I was sending was a test send to the domain name which is still active outside the firewall but is also defined inside the firewall. Postfix was resolving the TO: address in the local domain which should have been external. Once I removed "real" site from ISPConfig, all worked fine.:eek:

    Oh well, maybe someone will learn from my example.

    Now to figure out the date display on the webmail client.
