I installed a new server on a small vps and everything was configured according to http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-6.4-x86_64-nginx-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p6 and the following shows up in the mail log Nov 12 18:21:22 sud dovecot: auth: Error: mysql: Query failed, retrying: MySQL server has gone away Nov 12 18:21:22 sud dovecot: auth: mysql: Connected to localhost (dbispconfig) Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/trivial-rewrite[30366]: warning: do not list domain sud.in in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/smtpd[29962]: 2570910FE471: client=cpe-24-27-54-233.tx.res.rr.com, sasl_method=PLAIN, [email protected]$ Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/cleanup[30368]: 2570910FE471: message-id=<[email protected]> Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/qmgr[30639]: 2570910FE471: from=<[email protected]>, size=665, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/trivial-rewrite[30366]: warning: do not list domain sud.in in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/local[30369]: 2570910FE471: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.28, delays=0.24/0.01/0/0.04, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent ($ Nov 12 18:21:23 sud postfix/qmgr[30639]: 2570910FE471: removed I see that the mail has been received when i do a cat /var/mail/username but i cannot see the mail when using webmail/pop3 also i can send mail via the webmail interface or pop3 I also removed the spam-filtering and antivirus using the following guide: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...ilter-and-antivirus-functions-in-ispconfig-3/ Could you please let me know how to resolve this please ?
The problem is the hostname that you used for your server. The hostname has to be a subdmain like we used it in the guide (server1.example.com), you used the domain sud.in instead of a subdomain like server1.sud.in and this causes the mail issue now. Change the hostname of the server in the centis network configuration, the postfix main.cf file and the /etc/hosts file from sud.in to a subdomain like server1.sud.in or srv1.sud.in or a similar subdomain. Then add the subdomain that you used to the dns zone sud.in as well so external servers can resolve this subdomain and restart postfix.

Thanks for your help
To change the hostname of a server it is not enough to change it in one place. There are multiple places, e. g. /etc/mailname, /etc/hostname, maybe /etc/postfix/main.cf etc.
I actually did do the change even in postfix/main.cf for myhostname variable; however i hadn't changed the value for mydestination = srv1.sud.in, localhost, localhost.localdomain Thank you for your time and help
