Dear all, I have installed ubuntu server NO GUI on my hp desktop machine. I am thrilled! because everything works! I have installed postfix, courier, sasl, spamassassin, mysql, squirrelmail on the box according to a howtoforge tut. I had some problems with spamassassin, apache, and courier, but I solved them all. However there's one problem which I cannot solve. I am at this for two weeks and I cannot have no more! I'm beyond frustration,...I'm tired. It takes like 5-7 hours everyday trying to solve and I did everything I could think of. I surfed the Inet, but this had no consequence. I have windows box here with hmailsever on it, and it works fine behind the router/firewall. My A record is ok and my MX record and PTR also ok. Again, with hmailserver everyhting works without any problems. check it also at pingability.com (very good site) First postfix did not send mail locally, but I succeeded in making it work. Now it sends out mail (I think....), but I get a "connection refused" if I send a mail to my mailaccount at my ISP and on other mail accounts. The mail stays in the mailqueue on my box. I use the command mailq to check if mail has been sent. I always try to solve my problems, but sometimes one needs a helping hand..... Any suggestions and any idea pointing me in the right directions is valuable and very welcome. thanks in advance for your effort and it's greatly appreciated.
