    if possible, take a printscreen of your router configuration for the http and webmin forwarding and post it here.

    And are you sure that the changes you made to the router have been applied ?

    Your system cannot connect to the DNS servers 192.168.4.100 and 192.168.8.100 because they are in a different subnet. Please try 145.253.2.75 and 213.191.92.86 as nameservers.

    none of the DNS nameserver worked, so i chopped them out and now have this:

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.100
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.1.0
    broadcast 192.168.1.225
    gateway 192.168.1.1


    Which is letting me SSH to the server now, so thats good :)

    Only thing now is i am trying to set up ProFTPD but it keeps timing out when it trys to retrieve:

    Status: Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead.
    Command: LIST
    Error: Connection timed out
    Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

    I am stuck with this bit:

    Next we configure Postfix for TLS (make sure that you use the correct hostname for myhostname):

    postconf -e 'myhostname = server1.example.com'

    my server is "server1.yellow-zebra.co.uk"
    what do i use for <i>myhostname</i>

    also i have this:
    instead of what you have in the guide:
    Any help again would be greatly appreciated

    server1.yellow-zebra.co.uk

    Sendmail is still running. Stop it and start Postfix.

    Thanks very much for your help. I have now got it up and running. I had removed Sendmail but it left trace files behind so removed them, reinstalled postfix following your guide. And voila!!!! One work Server, with email capability!!!

    Thank you so much for your help :D

    Me again.

    Everything is running fine bar one issue. When i send an email from my website, i get a file that creates itself in the /Maildir/new/

    Is there anyway of stopping this as they keep coming through

    Of what user? Are you sending to a foreign domain, or a domain that is hosted on your server?

    Seems to have stopped now. It is in the /var/www/ as root

    Ah, that's probably the mailbox of the user www-data (the Apache user on Debian/Ubuntu); mails from web applications are sent as this user. Maybe there were some bounces, that's why the Maildir got created.
