    This is /etc/hosts

    Code:
    # 
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    
    
    
    127.0.0.1              localhost.localdomain localhost
    85.17.97.14             cip001.france-tracker.net
    
    this is /etc/host.conf
    Code:
    order hosts,bind
    ~
    ~
    ~
    
    and this is /etc/resolv.conf
    Code:
    search www.france-tracker.net
    nameserver 85.17.97.14

    I think you run your own DNS, right? If yes, comment both lines in resolv.conf. The DNS forward should be done in your own Bind/Named configuration with the 'forward' directive.

    The 'search www.france-tracker.net' line should be commented out, if you have your hosts/DNS oke. Your system is now trying to find local.localdomain.www.france-tracker.net, which I'm pretty sure, does not exist.

    Edit /etc/resolv.conf to make it look like:
    Code:
    # search www.france-tracker.net
    nameserver 85.17.97.14
    for starters. The # sign means to turn a line into a comment. Check if sending mail now works. If not, the next step is to change the way address resolving is done. We'll do that if this step does not work. Oke?

    I did some more testing:
    Code:
    :~# [COLOR="DarkRed"]dig MX france-tracker.net[/COLOR]
    
    ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2-P1 <<>> MX france-tracker.net
    ;; global options:  printcmd
    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 18558

    Apparantly you have not set your DNS MX record. Thus, external sites do not know to which server / IP they have to connect to deliver mail.

    To setup a MX record, go to your DNS manager in ISPConfig, click on your site, and go to the tab 'records'.

    Scroll down till you see MX with a new button. I think there's no entry for MX, right? Click on the new button, leave the hostname field empty and enter your system name (cip001.france-tracker.net) in the mailserver field. Press save.

    Now this is DNS, so it may take a while before it is propagated all over the world. You can check this yourself. Mail should start to work by using the dig command above. You should see a line somewhere in the middle saying:
    Code:
    ......
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    france-tracker.net.              86400   IN      MX      10 cip001.france-tracker.net.
    .....
    
    Then start testing your email again.

    Sorry, I have no idea what your trying to say. Did I mention anything about changing /etc/named.conf or /var/named/france-tracker.zone ? No, I told you the steps in the grafical interface of ISPConfig, which I assume you use, as you posted your question in the ISPConfig forum and you state "ISPConfig & postfix error".

    Please do the steps as I described in my previous post in ISPConfig and the actual files will be modified in the right locations in the right place for you. No manual editing. If you get errors, we'll start over from there.

    Without a MX record, you will never receive email from the internet.

    Please put
    Code:
    order hosts,bind
    multi on
    in /etc/host.conf and run
    Code:
    postconf -e 'virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable'
    postconf -e 'mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names'
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart
