Hello, I need a little help with my postfix mailserver. (system: suse 10.1 (perfect setup) and ispconfig) Everything seems to be working basically. I have registered few webs and created an email account for one of them. I can connect to the account with Thunderbird seemingly, but the test mail just doesn't get there. The sending looks completely normal, no error reports by Thunderbird. I have looked through a lot of mail-concerning forum posts, but nothing seems to fit/work for me (can it be I don't have a /var/log/mail.log ?). After sending a mail the new, tmp and cur directories in Maildir are still empty. (yes the Maildir option is active) Any ideas? Thank you, regards, Tom
Update: I find that the problem is a bind / nameserver problem. I had deactivated my bind for I didn't want to use it for the pages I host. When I activated it for trial suddenly the mailserver worked. Is it really necessary to activate bind for postfix? Or have I made a mistake registering the nameserver entries at my providers nameserver? What must be written in the zonefile for postfix to work correctly? Regards, Tom
Yes, there are four, and -ooops- one of them was the nameserver I tried to set up on my server and which is now disabled. But the other three are ok, so I removed the one entry and restarted the network, but that didn't help. It's like that now: - Bind service disabled. I can send mails to the test account and read them via Thunderbird, but can not send mails. The following is added to /var/log/main.info, when I try to send mail: Nov 26 16:22:23 whitespace postfix/smtp[8277]: 7BECB844ED: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=1924, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found.

The nameserver entry at my provider's nameserver is: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns1.first-ns.de. postmaster.robot.first-ns.de. ( 2006112300 ; serial 14400 ; refresh 1800 ; retry 604800 ; expire 86400 ) ; minimum @ IN NS robotns3.second-ns.com. @ IN NS robotns2.second-ns.de. @ IN NS ns1.first-ns.de. @ IN A here.is.my.IP localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 mail IN A here.is.my.IP www IN A here.is.my.IP ftp IN CNAME www imap IN CNAME www loopback IN CNAME localhost pop IN CNAME www relay IN CNAME www smtp IN CNAME www @ IN MX 10 mail Thank you, regards Tom
The resolv.conf looks like that: domain mydomainname.de nameserver 213.239.242.238 nameserver 213.133.105.6 nameserver 193.47.99.3 regards, Tom
Can you try this in /etc/resolv.conf instead? Code: nameserver 145.253.2.75 nameserver 193.174.32.18 nameserver 194.25.0.60 Also, what's the output of Code: updatedb locate resolv.conf ?
