Greetings! I'm running a dedicated server. Linux Distri.: CentOS release 5.3 (Final) - fresh installation. I'm following TopDog's Guide Virtual Hosting Howto With Virtualmin On CentOS 5.1(http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-hosting-with-virtualmin-on-centos5.1). Everything works so far but I'm having trouble setting up Postfix right. Currently I'm using the sample config file. On trying to send an email via Telnet, I get the following error: Code: [root@QJH002 postfix]# telnet mydomain.de 25 Trying xx.75.244.195... Connected to mydomain.de (xx.75.244.195). Escape character is '^]'. 220 tds mail cluster mail from: [email protected] 503 5.5.1 Error: send HELO/EHLO first helo me 250 QJH002.mydomain.de mail from: [email protected] 451 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later Any ideas?

Have you tried this with an email client such as Thunderbird or Outlook? Any errors in your mail log?
Hi and thank you for replying. POP3 seems to work. If I try to send an email via Thunderbird it's the same error 4.7.1 "Service unavailable - try again later."
/var/log/maillog Code: Oct 1 19:01:19 QJH002 postfix/cleanup[6510]: warning: connect to Milterservice unix:/var/clamav/clmilter.socket: Connection refused Oct 1 19:01:19 QJH002 postfix/cleanup[6510]: BE1A710A01D9: milter-reject: CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again in later; from=<[email protected]> Oct 1 19:01:19 QJH002 postfix/cleanup[6510]: BE1A710A01D9: milter-reject: CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; from=<[email protected]>
After commenting out the milters I get 5.7.1 Relay Access Denied if i try to mail to extern domains, or 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: undeliverable address: User unknown.
Yes. Yay, wrong TLS cert - no problem. I gonna manage this soon enough as I can recieve emails from CAcerts.org. It won't verify my domain if I don't click the activation link which i will probably never get. Isn't it ironic? I already tried to load the default postfix-conf and put my domain in. Still "I can break rules too, goodbye" error - and no mails incoming. I'm really stressed. I wanna set this mail server up for virtual domains. I'm no idiot but it makes me think I'm retarded. -.- edit: Ok, here we go. I followed this tut http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix . Mail recieved, domain verified. I gonna work this out, again, very meticulous. Stay tuned. edit #2: Thank you so much. I'm always happy, getting pushed into the right direction. So the main problem was a bad certificate. Now i got one from CAcert.org. Afterwards I scrolled up the mail user manager of virtualmin - and it seems that i always logged in with the wrong account infos. In the end it was just the false loginname. It wasn't mailman but mailman.mydomain. Right now I'm having little issue with pop3, but don't worry friends ^^ - it worked, i make it work again. The End It works. THANK YOU!
