    Hi,

    I set up fedora Core3 according to the tutorial:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_3
    (note: It would be nice that in your really great manual you mention that it is necessery to install zlib 1.2.3 , it would save some timefor first time users)

    After that I set up ISP Config according to the:
    http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm
    everything works fine, except:

    - I can't read email with email client.

    Username is accepted, but it fails on password.

    - actually, if my domain name is fast-server.homelinux.com then what's the name of mail server?
    Is it mail.fast-server.homelinux.com or pop3.fast-server.homelinux.com or I have to setup that somewhere.

    According to the ISPConfig, all servers are running, and scanning of the ports also shows that. Firewall is disabled.

    Many thanx in advance,

    Nenad

    ::update1

    If I start UebiMiau from ISPConfig Tools --> Webmail ,
    I can sent e-mail , but there's no emails in inbox ?

    My login is:
    [email protected] and I can sent email with that account

    althought UebiMail proposed it to be:
    [email protected] and I can sent email with that account and login too.

    For both accounts, actuall folders are same

    web2_nenad is my FTP login

    When I try to login https://www.fast-server.homelinux.com/mailuser/

    First popup window informs certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate, then it informs : "The requested URL was not found on this server."

    You can use any FQDN that points to your server (e.g. fast-server.homelinux.com). You can even use the IP address.

    You can change [email protected] to [email protected] in Uebimiau's settings page.

    Did you try to send an email to that account? If so, is there anything in the mail log under /var/log?

    It has to be https://www.fast-server.homelinux.com:81/mailuser/

    So you're using ipop3d. ipop3d uses mbox format which measn you have to leave Maildir disabled under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email in ISPConfig.

    Please try to change something (a setting, e.g. the password) in the ISPConfig web interface for the user in question so that the configuration will be rewritten.

    When I set up username to:
    web2_nenad

    and email to:
    [email protected]


    Outlook express doesn't complain any more about bad login, and it looks like that it is checking mailbox.
    Unfortunately, there's still no evidence that emails reach inbox.

    When I do:

    tail -f /var/log/maillog

    And then try to send email to postfix , I don't see any changes?
    Does emails reach Postfix at all?

    If you don't see any incoming mails in /var/log/maillog, then the mails don't arrive on your system.

    Did you forward port 25 from your router to your mail server?

    Does fast-server.homelinux.com point to your router's public IP address?

    nenad Member

    Well, my public IP is 87.116.140.158 and my local IP is 10.40.239.218

    My

    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

    is

    -------------------------------------------
    MTU=1500
    NETMASK=255.255.0.0
    BROADCAST=10.40.255.255
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp
    IPADDR=""
    NETWORK=""
    ONBOOT=yes
    DEVICE=eth0
    --------------------------------------------

    I didn't created /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0

    Is it necessery to do so?

    When I type intp browser https://87.116.140.158:81/ I am directed exctly to my ISPConfig control panel.
    (It's shared IP).
    When I scan it from outside using that IP I see all of the ports on my server opened (which is one of PC's on my LAN). Or if I scan using domain name fast-server.homelinux.com

    I can also FTP using both IP or domain name, or I can SSH using both of them.

    It's NAT 1:1 ruter so I guess that 87.116.140.158 is on one side and 10.40.239.218 on the other side.

    Are there any settings within ISPConfig that I had to set up?

    Mnagement --> Server --> Settings --> DNS ..?
    I set up as name server : fast-server.homelinux.com
    and I checked "DefaultMX" option.

    In DNS settings, for site fast-server.homelinux.com , SOA is fast-server.homelinux.com and IP is 10.40.239.218

    In DNS settings A record is:
    IP is 10.40.239.218
    hostname is www

    MX settings is:
    mailserver fast-server.homelinux.com
    hostname www

    and homelinux.com
    withouth hostname

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Last week I installed ISP Config, but before that I had webmin.
    I think that there was no problems with retreiving of emails

    note: I done clean Fedora + ISP Config install
