I have install Fedora core 5 following the instructions of "The Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 5 (64-bit)" by Falko I am running a 64bit AMD Athlon which I want to make it a web and mail server. The web server is working ok!! but the mail server is not working properly. When I am trying to send and receive e-mail from a WINxp system using outlook and an account on the Fedora server, it seems to working ok but no e-mails are sent or received. Outlook is connected to the server and finds no new messages. When I am trying to send an e-mail outlook says that the message is sent but the message doesn’t go to the recipient. I am using Postfix and when I am trying telnet local host 25 I am getting ............ -------------------------------------------------- [root@ns ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1...

Dear Falco After re-installing the system from the beginning it seems to work properly. I have install the ISPConfig. Following the steps of “The Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 5 (64-bit)” I notice that after finishing the steps of “Postfix with SMTP-AUTH and TLS” in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file the line smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt was not created and I add the line manually. Finally the web server is working and the mail server cause only one problem ….. I create a user named ‘info’ I send e-mail to ‘info’ using Outlook and then I check the info account using Outlook and no e-mail was received. At /var/log/maillog I see the following: ====================================== Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/smtpd[1996]: connect from unknown[195.251.5.206] Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/smtpd[1996]: 140ACA28114: client=unknown[195.251.5.206] Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/cleanup[2006]: 140ACA28114: message-id=<01a801c6b898$fdfe9ea0$cc05fbc3@graviton> Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/qmgr[558]: 140ACA28114: from=<[email protected]>, size=1355, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/smtpd[1996]: disconnect from unknown[195.251.5.206] Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/local[2007]: 140ACA28114: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Aug 5 17:11:09 ns postfix/qmgr[558]: 140ACA28114: removed Aug 5 17:11:13 ns dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<info>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:195.251.5.206, lip=::ffff:195.251.5.3 Aug 5 17:11:13 ns dovecot: POP3(info): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 ================================== Note that: ns.nestor.org.gr is the server name 195.251.5.206 is the ip address of my personal pc graviton is my personal pc name How I will fix this ? In the ISPConfig, the option Spamfilter is unchecked. How this filter works? Is it safe that I will not loose imprortant e-mails ? Does it worth to try it? Thanks in adnance Antonis
What's in /etc/aliases? You can specify in ISPConfig what happens to spam. You can have it deleted or delivered (with a rewritten subject) so that you can do the filtering in your email client. No email is lost when you choose to have spam delivered.
Dear Falco thank you for the info. I comment out the line info: postmaster in the /etv/aliases file and the info account is working ok! Could you please help me about how I will specify in ISPConfig the settings for the spamfilter? Thanks
Have a look here: http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/manual_en/manual_kunde_en_src.htm#4_2_2 section 2.2.5.
