my webmai and mail client can't login yet .

mybox is rhel4 . and i installed apt-get . so i followed perfect install fc4.

and when i install mail server i havnot found the article said that imap . i only found cyrus-imapd , and i vi ed a file in etc to set ipop3 pop3d port opened.

and as the article said. telnet localhost 25 seems ok.

but now i can't loggin webmail .i can login by web ftp. and i used [email protected] test login webmail that i trust the username and password are ok. log file confirmed that.

below is the logfile .

Code:

Dec  8 01:35:28 freelamp pop3[774]: accepted connection
Dec  8 01:35:29 freelamp master[2298]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/pop3d

Dec  8 01:35:32 freelamp master[713]: process 774 exited, status 0

 

i found a tip from google. and two lines after imapd.conf, and now it works . i can login . and also i can send out . but can't receive mail . and advices?

Code:

autocreatequota: -1
createonpost: yes 

but i don't know what they mean. and also i was wondering . autocreatequota =-1 looks means some disk quota is this setting will effect the ispconfig mailbox quota ?

thanks

 

Did you enable/disable Maildir in Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email? Try to change that setting.

 

i have enabled that checkbox.
and the Maildir looks there .

falko,can you tell me that tip from google will change my box something ?

 

Have you also tried with Maildir disabled?

 

[root@freelamp Maildir]# ls -al
total 8
drwx------ 2 web6_test web6 4096 Dec 8 01:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 web6_test web6 4096 Dec 8 01:33 ..

there is no file directory in Maildir, maybe this is the problem.


and i have the true domain name jmugs981.org and the dns server is this server which runing ispconfig . and it works fine. and i create a dmain name . test.jmugs981.org. also fine .

 

i have tried . disabled then try webmail can't login. enable also can't login.

make me crazy.

thank you for you guys' s help.

 

I think that Cyrus is the problem. Try to remove it and install another POP3 server such as Courier. Maybe dovecot will also do ( http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1432 ).

When you have Maildir enabled and send a mail to yourself, what's the output of

Code:

ls -la /home/www/web6/user/web6_test/Maildir

afterwards? At least the mails should arrive in there.

 

when i send a mail the dir you said /home/www/web6/user/web6_test/Maildir
have nothing.

below is the maillog.

Code:

as the advices i removed cyrus-imapd. and installed dovcat . service has been started . and checked, found that it can send out . but can't receive.

too bad.

also i tried to add a system user . but problem is same can't receive but can send out.

any more help .

 

and i found that , all the mail from the other maiserver sended out are returned back . why ?maybe this is a key to this problem

 

Is there an error message in the returned mails? What's in the mail log?

 

here is the msg

Make sure [email protected] is in /etc/postfix/virtusertable, and jmugs981.org is in /etc/postfix/local-host-names.

 

i reinstalled my ispconfig.
and now dns works fine.
but mail .....
i create a client test , and a website test . create a mail user tt.
[email protected] user web1_tt passwd tt .

and now user tt can login from webmail or web client such as outlook .

mail send out works fine. but can't receive mail . and i tried to send a mail to [email protected] from the other mail server .
but i can't receive it . and the mail used to send the mail has no message , seems has sended the mail
also i have tried to enable and disable in server settings that mail dir.
i checked virtusertable and the local-host-names seems ok .tt is on the virtuesertable and jmugs981.org in local-host-named .

what can i do?

 

Is 211.144.137.88 your public IP address? You don't have an MX record for jmugs981.org.

If your server is in a local network behind a router: did yiu forward port 25 from your router to your server?
Do you see anything in the mail log when you send a mail to [email protected]? I suggest that you run

Code:

tail -f /path/to/maillog

and then send a mail to that email address and have a look what happens in your log.

 

see.
this is the log when i use [email protected] to send a mail to [email protected]

Code:

but i can't see anything error.

and also [email protected] doensn't have any msg returned such as deleve failed or the err else.

and this pic shows the mx i set. does it has a problem?

 

There's the error: I guess freelamp.jmugs981.org is your hostname. Create an A record for it that points to your server.

You should use a FQDN like mail.example.com instead of an IP address as mail server. And, of course, your name server (the ISPConfig server) must be authoritative for your domain otherwise you can create as many records as you want, but it will have no effect...
