Roundcube : ''Message have been sent'' , but nothing happens

It is not the editor. Root can modify any file.
But how can you use Notepad on Linux?
Anyway, Ubuntu has command editor which starts a sensible editor, use that from command line. But if you have Ubuntu, it does not have root user. .Did you remember sudo in front of the editor command?

 

Ok , it was been opening with 'Vim'' not the padd . I will try Nano , the one you have mentioned

 

Well , I'm new on linux , hard for me to understand all . i'm using "wine" witch allow some apps to run on linux

(1) Another program may be editing the same file. If this is the case,
be careful not to end up with two different instances of the same
file when making changes. Quit, or continue with caution.
(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /etc/postfix/master.cf"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file "/etc/postfix/.master.cf.swp"
to avoid this message.

Editor running under Wine most likely does not have root permissions. Are you using a Graphical Desktop on your Ubuntu server? In that case I guess you used a graphical editor without sudo which explains why editor does not have root permissions. Start

Code:

sudo nano filename.txt

from linux command line, terminal window for example.

 

Do you know how to use vim? Nano would be easier to use.
As for those crashed sessions, compare contents of those files and choose the best.

 

Sr thank you so much for the help , it works . Just to let you know . I'm logged as root . i'm having a normal VPS , via xrdp with ubuntu 18.04
The logs now looks like this

Btw , I don't know how to restart postfix so I have rebooted the server , and now i'm having an error when trying to send mail . Error SMTP Error (-1): Connection to server failed.

 

ok, that just means that the file was/is open in another editor and is either still open, or was not closed properly.
make sure all other editors are closed, and try again, you can attempt to recover the file, and then save it and close the editor, or you can ( if you know there are no changes ) delete the .master.cf.swp file and then try to re-open the master.cf file.

if you've installed ispconfig/roundcube following one of the tutorials, postfix will receive the mail from roundcube, and try passing it through amavis for scanning, it'll then try to deliver it after it's passed back from amavis to postfix.
without being able to pass it to amavis, it just sits at that point, periodically trying to resend it to amavis for scanning.
you should be able to see all the emails stuck waiting to be scanned by typing 'mailq' into the cli.

is this something you're just playing with/testing, or is it a production server?, if it is production, is there a specific reason for running a graphical environment on it? installing the whole desktop system would add quite a bit of overhead to the server, especially with an emulator running as well, and would increase the number of possible attack vectors. I know you say you're new to Linux, and the desktop would make it easier for someone coming over from windows, but I would advise you to get comfortable with the Linux cli as quickly as possible and not install the desktop environment on servers.

 

for future reference, you can restart postfix with 'service postfix restart' or 'systemctl restart postfix'

for the new connection failed error, what does it show in the postfix logs now?

 

Hello Sr , thanks for the reply and explanation . Regardless to your question , i'm running a VPS and trying to build a site where the registration require an email confirmation , to avoid spam and to give users member area . I'm new here , so it's gonna take me a while

that's one of the configuration files, what's in /var/log/mail.log?

it's probably easiest to run 'tail -f /var/log/mail.log' in a terminal and try to send a new email, then cut and paste the output from the terminal window. will save you having to open a (potentially very large) file and then finding out where the logging of the actual error starts.

hmm.. looks like dovecot is running, but postfix itself isn't. maybe try 'systemctl restart postfix'
then run 'systemctl status postfix.service' or 'journalctl -u postfix -b'
