I am quite pleased with ispconfig. It is truly an amazing program. However, I am having trouble receiving e-mails in my inbox. This holds true using the webmail interface and outlook. It appears as if they are not being properly delivered to the users e-mail box. I am able to send main from the account so SMTP works perfectly. Also, no e-mails are getting bounced back. My set up is as follows: Fedora Core 4 perfect MTA Postfix logs are enabled maildir is disabled spamfilter is enabled on the email account: catchAll-email is enabled MailScan is enabled Keep Copy is enabled Spamfilter is enabled Antivirus is enabled Span Strategy accept spanHits: 5 Rewrite subject is enabled When I viewed the log files they are not giving me any errors and the server is recieving the e-mails. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
Can you try to send a mail to the system and at the same time have a look at the mail log and post the relevant excerpt of the log here?

Any ideas on how to fix that? increase time out time? I am sending the mail message from [email protected] to [email protected] I hope this is the mail log you are looking for. If you would like another log to be sent please just ask. THank again
For hotmail you will have to add SPF records for your domain at the authoritive DNS Server, otherwise hotmail refuses your smtp connections. Please check if the domain that shall receive the email is listed in /etc/postfix/local-host-names (without www) and the email address is listed in /etc/postfix/virtusertable
Have a look at this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=802 For help on how to create an SPF record - the SPF record form in ISPConfig is very similar to http://www.openspf.org/wizard.html?mydomain=&x=26&y=5.
Thank you both for your reply. Below is the content in the virtusertable and also local-host-names virtusertable: [email protected] webmaster @www.axiompvp.com webmaster [email protected] webmaster @axiompvp.com webmaster local-host-names: localhost www.axiompvp.com localhost.www.axiompvp.com localhost.axiompvp.com axiompvp.com Everything looks ok to me. Any chance you see anything?
Thats OK so far. Please try to check your maillog with the command "tail -f /path/to/mail/log". This will open an continous tail command. If you now send an email to your server, which lines where added to the mail log?

The mail is delivered, but to root. Have you set any redirects in postfix for the webmaster account? Please have a look in the postfix aliases file. Try to create another mail account that is not a webmaster address. If this account is working properly we know thats not a general problem in mail delivery.

Thank you again for your help. Any ideas on how to fix webmaster?
I did a locate *alias* and found /etc/aliases . in this file webmaster is in there and it goes to root. how can I properly change this?
Maybe its /etc/aliases and not /etc/postfix/aliases If its not /etc/aliases it has an other name in FC4, i dont have FC4 installed here. Which files do you have in /etc/postfix directory? ls -l /etc/postfix/
I did a locate *alias* and found /etc/aliases . in this file webmaster is in there and it goes to root. how can I properly change this? thank you again for your help you guys are awesome
Danke schön! It is working perfectly now. anychance you guys can take my final exam in VHDL and advanced assembly tomorrow also?
/etc/aliases is the correct file. Just comment out the line (or delete it). Afterwards, you have to run the command Code: newaliases
Danke schön! Falko and till you guys are awesome! It is working perfectly now. anychance you guys can take my final exam in VHDL and advanced assembly tomorrow also?
