    Please send an email to this account. The maildir is created when you send the first email to the account.

    If you use ISPConfig, make sure you checked the Maildir checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > Settings on the mail tab.

    Did you see in the maillog of your server, that the message arrived at your server at all? Please try to send an email to the account using your server as smtp server.

    Mmmm my mail server says:
    <[email protected]>: mail for 10.0.0.13 loops back to myself

    what does it means

    I know this error only in the form "domainxy.com loops back to myself". This means that you have to add domainxy.com in your mydestination variable in postfix main.cf. Maybe you can add IP addresses there as well.

    Please post /etc/postfix/main.cf here.
    Is 81.69.79.160 the IP address of your server?
    BTW, you should consider creating an MX record for colddot.nl.

    How do you mean create mx record ? i have a externe name server for www.colddot.nl
    name server = ns1.nsnoc.com
    name server = ns2.nsnoc.com

    and the ip of my server is indeed 81.69.79.160
    so www.colddot.nl is the same as 81.69.79.160 :D
    or i don't get your point :S

    but here is my main.cf from my postfix
    # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

    smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)

    And a other thing why is it taken so long to send a mail from a webpage whit my local smtp server ( it takes about 2.5 min)

    Sorry for the late respons but i have a lot on my head :(

    The A records are ok, but you didn't create an MX record for your domain (you can see that when you run
    Code:
    dig mx colddot.nl
    )
    For example, you could create an A record for mail.colddot.nl pointing to 81.69.79.160, and then you create an MX record for colddot.nl, like
    Code:
    colddot.nl MX 10 mail.colddot.nl
    Looks ok. What's in /etc/mailname?

    Can you see anything in the mail log?

    little of topic
    how do you auto start a sh file in /etc/init.d/(example->)ts
    in debian

    till Super Moderator Staff Member ISPConfig Developer

    In the directory /etc are several directorys rc0.d .... rc6.d. The numbers of these directorys correspond to the linux runlevels. If you create a symlink in one of these directorys pointing to your start script in /etc/init.d, your script will be executed when the linux system starts the selected runlevel.

    If you go to /etc/rc3.d for example and execute the command "ls", you can see which services are started in runlevel 3.

    There is also a script that can create the symlinks for you if you dont want to do it manually. To get more infos on how to use the update-rc.d script, run this command on the shell:

    man update-rc.d

    falko Super Moderator Howtoforge Staff

    In your specific example (/etc/init.d/ts) you can simply run
    Code:
    update-rc.d ts defaults
    Make sure /etc/init.d/ts is executable.

    Does Postfix listen on all interfaces? Is inet_interfaces set to all in /etc/postfix/main.cf? What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    inet_interfaces set to all.

    Is 81.69.79.160 your public IP address? Is your server connected directly to the internet, or is it behind a router? If it is behind a router, did you forward port 25 from your router to your server?
     
  17. ColdDoT

    ColdDoT Member

    Yes 81.69.79.160 is public ip no dynamic ip
    i've got a router but i have forwarded the ports
    80=web
    21=ftp
    22=ssh
    666=Teamspeak Server
    110=pop
    25=smtp

    I just tried to your external IP on port 25 and got a connection refused. Please ask your internet service provider if they block connections on port 25.
     
  19. ColdDoT

    ColdDoT Member

    no they don't i know it for sure because i have runned a smtp server on poort 25 before only then on a windows box
     
  20. falko

    falko Super Moderator Howtoforge Staff

    Did you forward port 25 to the correct server? If so, is maybe your firewall blocking requests on port 25? Please post the output of
    Code:
    iptables -L
