Hello! I have one vps with Debian wheezy, apache, postfix, dovecot, etc... and ISPConfig 3. To point the domain to my vps, I need to configure my domain (with namecheap panel) to point the @ and www record to my vps ip, because I not have valid nameservers and I created a gluehost. After, I created the site in my vps an all works fine. But when I tried to create a mail box (with the mentioned domain) I tried to send an email (or recive) it not work and the mail.err log says: Feb 28 03:15:02 server postfix/sendmail[18549]: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: MY IP Feb 28 03:16:44 server sm-mta[18596]: s1S8GhYl018596: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dfs1S8GhYl018596 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=110): No such file or directory Feb 28 03:20:01 server postfix/sendmail[18724]: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: 64.90.187.208 Feb 28 03:25:01 server postfix/sendmail[18838]: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: 64.90.187.208 Feb 28 03:26:35 server sm-mta[18874]: s1S8QZfB018874: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dfs1S8QZfB018874 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=110): No such file or directory
Change the line "myhostname" in postfix main.cf, this line must contain the hostname and not the Ip address of your server.
You can create one yourself. add a dns a-record for server.yourdomain.tld at namecheap and then set server.yourdomain.tld as hostname in your server.
In Namecheap.com log on and you've to go to: My Account → Manage Domains → Modify Domain (use the Domain for your ISPConfig server) and click on All Host Records. in Sub-Domain Settingscreate the A-Record (A-Address) for your server like server.yourdomain.com and set TTL to 1800 Down the page check (click) User Simplified (One Mail Server IP Address Required) and click Save, than the new windows come up and you key in the IP Address of your domain and the other settings(see picture) Click Save again. Hope that helps.
