I have my server setup using Ubuntu 15.10 via the Perfect Server - Ubuntu 15.10 with Apache, Postfix and Dovecot running using ISPConfig 3. Many thanks for the excellent tutorial, I am hosting my own website and it works really well. The drawback is I cannot seem to get Email for my site to work correctly or at all. The server can send and receive email to system users (local host) but none of the email accounts set up under ISPConfig work. if config output: :~# ifconfig enp1s5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e8:de:27:a7:61:e5 inet addr:192.168.1.200 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::eade:27ff:fea7:61e5/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:104009 errors:0 dropped:2 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:53234 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:124225147 (124.2 MB) TX bytes:10382141 (10.3 MB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:7258 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7258 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2096786 (2.0 MB) TX bytes:2096786 (2.0 MB) Network Tools (Supertool) output on my server: Connecting to 50.43.15.47 220 webserver.hedhouse.net ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) [797 ms] EHLO PWS3.mxtoolbox.com 250-webserver.hedhouse.net 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN [688 ms] MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> 250 2.1.0 Ok [688 ms] RCPT TO:<[email protected]> 454 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied [688 ms] PWS3v2 7235ms I can use Mutt to read system mail which tells me the error messages from send / receive efforts, but using email applications from my other computers fails to work with email accounts set up thru ISPConfig.

Additional Info: Network setup (server, router and ISP info) Frontier FiOS fiber modem (ENT), Actiontec Router/Modem, Trendnet Gigabit Switch, Server. Local IP addressing; Server IP 192.168.1.200 webserver.hedhouse.net (local network) Netmask 255.255.255.0 Network 192.168.1.0 Broadcast 192.168.1.255 Gateway (Actiontec modem) 192.168.1.1 DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Website DNS Services provided by GoDaddy (see below). I am suspecting that Frontier FiOS is blocking SMTP and POP3 ports thru to my network, have left messages for call back on this (go figure)... Resorted to GoDaddy providing DNS for my registered website address of www.handyman-it.com and .us after many hours of troubleshooting with GoDaddy technicians (good folks). Our joint conclusion is that Frontier is blocking server ports that originate from my location. This is not my first go round with Frontier - an probably will not be the last. Charles.
Please login to webmail with an address that you added in ISPConfig on this server and send an email to the same address that you used for the webmail login. Then post the log output from mail.log that you get for this email sending. The most likely reason for your issue is that you added the email domain in postfix main.cf somewhere, email domains or a virtual mail system may not be listed in main.cf, they exist only in the mysql database, if you add them in main.cf, then the virtual mail system gets disabled in postfix for this domain and you will not receive emails.
Had a hard drive crash on the webserver, (WD 500GB - Green) had to replace it and re-install the server. Now it is on the good. Looking for it now. Will post the message soon.
OK... I just tried to use the web mail app - it will not "send" anything, no actions are initiated when I press the send link at the top of the page. This is the same no matter if I use IE, Firefox or Chrome. This is the log entries from the time frame I attempted to send the mail: Feb 27 19:55:01 Webserver postfix/smtpd[29985]: connect from localhost[::1] Feb 27 19:55:01 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<leMhf8ws5AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:55:01 Webserver postfix/smtpd[29985]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[::1] Feb 27 19:55:01 Webserver postfix/smtpd[29985]: disconnect from localhost[::1] Feb 27 19:55:01 Webserver dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<8vQhf8ws5AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:39 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30032, secured, session=<c1aUiMws/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=29 out=460 Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30034, secured, session=<+1mXiMws/gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=70 out=596 Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30037, secured, session=<MECbiMwsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30038, secured, session=<IFabiMwsAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=316 out=1500 Feb 27 19:57:40 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=233 out=957 Feb 27 19:57:45 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30040, secured, session=<6EXriMwsBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:45 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=32 out=456 Feb 27 19:57:45 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30042, secured, session=<mw3tiMwsBgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:57:45 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=44 out=563 Feb 27 19:59:11 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30061, secured, session=<AJIIjswsCgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:59:11 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=70 out=596 Feb 27 19:59:11 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30063, secured, session=<JzYOjswsDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:59:11 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30065, secured, session=<JnMOjswsDgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:59:11 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=120 out=721 Feb 27 19:59:11 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=316 out=1500 Feb 27 19:59:19 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30067, secured, session=<ALGIjswsEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:59:19 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=32 out=456 Feb 27 19:59:19 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=30069, secured, session=<6DGKjswsEgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 19:59:20 Webserver dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=417 out=1930 Feb 27 20:00:01 Webserver dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<apkFkcwsHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 20:00:01 Webserver dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<Y5wFkcwsHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Feb 27 20:00:01 Webserver postfix/smtpd[30109]: connect from localhost[::1] Feb 27 20:00:01 Webserver postfix/smtpd[30109]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[::1] Feb 27 20:00:01 Webserver postfix/smtpd[30109]: disconnect from localhost[::1] I hope that this will shed some light on what is going on...

Looking in /var/log/mailman/error I see the following entries: Feb 27 20:24:02 2016 mailmanctl(30838): PID unreadable in: /var/run/mailman/mailman.pid Feb 27 20:24:02 2016 mailmanctl(30838): [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/run/mailman/mailman.pid' Feb 27 20:24:02 2016 mailmanctl(30838): Is qrunner even running? Roundcube error log has multiple PHP errors where is states "failed to load config from /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/(every file listed in directory)..." Do not know if that means anything but it looks like roundcube is not working correctly because of it. Will keep digging. CB
Update: Roundcube still refuses to send anything - acts like the "send" button does not work. Using Thunderbird - I can send / receive emails to my main account - [email protected] now, just not getting output from Roundcube. Will see if it works from outside my LAN, testing from remote site. CB
Update: Still unable to use web mail (roiundcube) Server receives remote email / sends remote email from LAN computers to LAN computers Serer does not forward mail to alternate (copy to) address Help is still needed..... Please let me know what is needed to resolve these issues. Thanks in advance. CB

After installing new SSL certificate, website works as expected (www.handyman-it.com) but email is not working at all now. Cannot send / receive system mail or remote mail from Thunderbird or other email programs. Will re-run commands from previous instructions and post results shortly. CB

The command for postconf: root@Webserver:~# postconf -n|grep interfaces inet_interfaces = all root@Webserver:~# Roundcube is still not operational... I cannot send messages as the "send" button (link) does nothing other than change color when clicked. Sending email from Thunderbird and Outlook from other computers, and even from my Galaxy S4 are not received or displayed on the system. I am not getting errors from attempted delivery or failed to deliver messages on any devices. This is becoming rather frustrating - I have followed the perfect server guide without deviation and it should be working. UPDATE: Just got the following error message from Roundcube: REQUEST CHECK FAILED Access to this service was denied due to failing security checks! Please contact your server-administrator. I am unsure what this means - no help online seems to cover it. CB
This is the output from my server when running the command... root@Webserver:~# netstat -tanp|grep 25 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10025 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1506/master tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1506/master tcp6 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 1506/master root@Webserver:~# Looks like the ports are open when I do a port scan.
Mail now is not working at all. Roundcube does not start, hangs when you attempt. ISPConfig works, looks normal from what I can see. Testing computer hardware used for server shows no hardware problems, disk is fine. I am not sure what is wrong with the mail applications. The Apache2 service is working, my website is up and running perfectly (a good thing!) but for the life of me I cannot figure out why the mail server is not responding now. Anyone?
I just pulled this from the server. Used WinSCP (remote) as I am not at that location right now. Let me know if you need more info. # # Postfix master process configuration file.

Still not working - am considering reloading (again, ugh...) the server from scratch but would like to avoid this in fear that I would not be resolving the issue as I remain in the dark as to why it is failing to work. CB
Please make sure you followed the Howto exactly as described. While looking at your master.cf I don't see the changes for submission/smtps - is there anything else you left out?
Followed it exactly as stated in the HowTo guide. I think something changed when I added my SSL to ISPconfig but cannot be sure. From what I was told - that would not bugger up anything, but one does not know if the help I recieved from the SSL was correct. Thanks for the input CB
