    Using this tutorial on www.howtoforge.com, I have managed to set web server. It is basically Ubuntu 14.04 (nginx, BIND, MySQL, PHP, Postfix, Dovecot and ISPConfig 3). Currently server host only one domain that is telosmedia.org and it seems that everything works OK. However I have hard time to figure out how to make email work.

    What I have done so far:
    1. I manage domain's DNS's through amazon route 53. Here is MX record for the domain
      1 telosmedia.org.
      5 telosmedia.org.
      10 telosmedia.org.
      1 mail.telosmedia.org.
      5 mail.telosmedia.org.
      10 mail.telosmedia.org.

    2. Using ISPConfig interface, I have set email domain name and mailbox. I can access mailbox via squirrelmail. However, mailbox does not receive incoming massages. When I try to send a message, server hangs.
    Can anyone give me a hand on this issue and provide a step-by-step guidance how to make email work on the server? Thank you in advance!

    You have 2 typos in the amster.cf, remove the # in front of the smtps and submission line and restart postfix. When you compare it with the tutorial, then you can see that these two lines dont have a # in front in the tutorial.

    Yep, you are absolutely right! Now, when I try to send massage to myself I get following error in Squirrelmail
    ERROR:
    Message not sent. Server replied:Requested action not taken: insufficient system storage

    I'm facing a similar problem here. My ISPconfig and Squirrelmail doesn't seem connected, sending and receiving emails either. I tried to send emails from Squirrelmail and it doesn't reach the destination and when I send emails from gmail to my domain account, it doesn't shows up their too (but if I open vi /var/mail/<myemailaccount> it's there). Here's my configuration files and the report.
    Any suggests? Idk from where I can restart.

    The problem is that you had choosen a wrong hostname. The server hostname has to be a subdomain like server1.example.com, if you would use example.com then email for example.com will not work like in your case. So you have to change the server hostname and the msilname in postfix msin.cf to fix your problem.

    Hi,
    I have installed ispconfig on centos 6.5, all is working good. But bydefault ispconfig installed mysql 5.1 on server, and i need latest mysql. Could you confirm how i can install and configure without effect on ispconfig

    The mysql 5.1 is not from ispconfig, its from centos. ISPConfig works with newer mysql versions as well, just ensure that you dont delete any databases.

    I'm stuck again. I changed the hostname and a bunch of other inconveniences shows up. When I try to send an email from Squirrelmail, this error appears:
    I created a Free SSL certificate from StartSSL and linked in dovecot.conf and main.cf which I attached here. Can somebody help me again? I appreciated in advance.
