    Hello,

    I recently installed my server. It run fine except for the mail sending. My PHP scripts can't send mail with the function mail(). In phpMyVisites I can see that the function is activated on the server but not seems to work...

    Please run
    Code:
    tail -f /var/log/mail.log
    , and at the same time send an email with PHP's mail() function. What happens in the tail output?

    You're on lots of blacklists, and besides I can't connect to your mail server. Make sure Postfix is running and that your firewall doesn't block port 25.

    What I do to not be on a blacklist? I did nothing bad, I've just installed my server since 2 week. Like you said, it looklike to have a problem to access postfix. The port forwarding for port 25 is activated in my router and in the firewall of ISPconfig. Postfix is running...

    I don't know what to do, I folowed the Perfect Setup guide...

    First, I guess your server is on a dynamic IP address. Most dynamic IP addresses are blacklisted by default because they are abused by lots of spammers. There's nothing you can do about it. If you still want to send mails with your server, you should relay through another mail server: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72&highlight=relayhost

    Also, you should ask your ISP if they block port 25.
