postfix problem - server does not receive e-mails

Hi there,

i created my ispconfig3 on a server configured as described in The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.4 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]. Everything works fine, but the Server was not able to receive emails.

First, the following error appeared, when sending an email to an mail account created by ispconfig3:

This has been caused by postfix only listening to localhost and was solved by adding the correct ethernet interface to /etc/postfix/main.cf (inet_interfaces). Also checked dns-settings (mx-records), everything correct.

After that, the following error appeared when sending an email to the server:

So I added the domain einmalistkeinmal.de to mydestination in main.cf.

Now, the following error appears:

I googled around and searched this forum, but most of the solutions are for ispconfig2 and do not work for ispconfig3.

So I think what the error message is saying is that postfix does not know the mail account?! I am quite new to postfix and don't know which files to check. Can somebody help me? Went someone wrong during perfect-server-setup?

Here is my main.cf from postfix:

 

What's the output of

Code:

postconf -n

?
Did you see any errors during ISPConfig installation?
Did you disable SELinux?

 

postconf -n

No Errors during ISPConfig-Installation. SELinux is disabled.

Another guy from the postfix mailing list told me, that there should be virtual_mailbox_* settings in main.cf. May this has anything to do with that problem?!

Thanks for you help in advance!

 

Yes, that's true - I wonder why they aren't there. I'd try to run the ISPConfig installer again.

 

Do I have to backup the ispconfig-config before or does a reinstall of ispconfig does not affect it?

 

Thankyou for the info

I have a mirrored CentOS 5.4 installation and have also had these problems.

I have copied an modified my target server with the missing data in main.cf and master.cf.

What other files are affected by the ispconfig installation program? I am trying to rebuild the mail system.

I have restarted postfix on the target and get this in the maillog:

removed my maillog listing. found a fix see next message

 

So, after doing a yum update with out excluding postfix,
I rebuilt the postfix code part 10 and 11 of The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.4 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3].

After pulling my hair out and reading alot of posts fixed the configuration problem by doing: php -q update.php in the ispconfig directory.

It seems to work now.

More on this later if there are problems.

 

It works, thank you, korbynn!

I did it exactly the way you described.

 

I did a yum update and afterwards postfix did not work anymore. So i assume i have to exclude postfix updates from yum. Is this correct?

Will i have to install any update on postfix manually or can I a automate this somehow?

 

Yes.

Yes, you must do this manually.
