--------Please ignore this------------- I should have checked my host didnt have port 25 blocked ---------------DOH------------------- I'm hoping someone can help. I've followed the above tutorial also installed ISPConfig and all is working well. I'm able to create new sites etc with no issues. The one problem i'm having is with sending and recieveing mail . I've spent hours going round and round in circles but with no success. Via roundcube if i try to send a mail to a gmail account: i have the following issues 1) The roundcube "Sender address" is "web_user <user@www.domain.co.uk> 2) The mail never arrives and i get the following in /var/log/maillog Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<web_user>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName sendmail[22743]: mB9D42NM022743: Authentication-Warning: MyHostName.MyDomain.co.uk: admispconfig set sender to [email protected] using -f Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName sendmail[22743]: mB9D42NM022743: [email protected], size=371, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<58d6c8e437cfec1da9edc8099ff684f9@localhost>, relay=admispconfig@localhost Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName postfix/smtpd[22744]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName postfix/smtpd[22744]: setting up TLS connection from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName sendmail[22743]: STARTTLS=client, relay=[127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName postfix/smtpd[22744]: TLS connection established from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) Dec 9 13:04:02 MyHostName postfix/smtpd[22744]: EA7CFA7F4B: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/cleanup[22747]: EA7CFA7F4B: message-id=<58d6c8e437cfec1da9edc8099ff684f9@localhost> Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/qmgr[20897]: EA7CFA7F4B: from=<[email protected]>, size=952, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName sendmail[22743]: mB9D42NM022743: [email protected], [email protected] (501/501), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30371, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Ok: queued as EA7CFA7F4B) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtp[22748]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[209.85.218.187]: Connection refused (port 25) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtp[22748]: connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[216.239.59.27]: Connection refused (port 25) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtp[22748]: connect to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[72.14.253.27]: Connection refused (port 25) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtp[22748]: connect to gsmtp183.google.com[64.233.183.27]: Connection refused (port 25) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtp[22748]: connect to gsmtp147.google.com[209.85.147.27]: Connection refused (port 25) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtpd[22744]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName postfix/smtp[22748]: EA7CFA7F4B: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.31, delays=0.26/0.01/0.04/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to gsmtp147.google.com[209.85.147.27]: Connection refused) Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName dovecot: IMAP(web_user): Disconnected: Logged out Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<web_user>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Dec 9 13:04:03 MyHostName dovecot: IMAP(web_user): Disconnected: Logged out Dec 9 13:04:04 MyHostName dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<web_user>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Dec 9 13:04:04 MyHostName dovecot: IMAP(web_user): Disconnected: Logged out Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
