Hello, i'm aware that there are plenty 'Roundcube' threads on this forum, but i didn't find any that could solve my problem. The problem is sending nor receiving emails doesn't work. When i try to send an email it says 'sent successfully', but it never reaches the recipient's mailbox and vice-versa - sending an email to this account shows no results. But no errors are displayed. I have ISPConfig3 installed on my VPS (running Ubuntu 14.04). I used this howtoforge.com/using-roundcube webmail-with-ispconfig-3-on-debian-wheezy-apache2 tutorial to install Roundcube and it didn't work out for me as i wanted. Roundcube is installed, i can access it via mydomain.com/webmail/ address and log in using the username and password created in ISPConfig3. I tried to fix it by removing the Roundcube package and installing it once again, but i probably screwed up. I have a guess that it might have something to do with creating user accounts in ISPConfig3 - in the email -> domain -> add new domain tab i don't have a choice of a client - just an empty list, but that's just a guess. I will be grateful for some help.
If you try to send mail from roundcube, fire up a SSH connect to your server and do Code: tail -f /var/log/mail.info first, then send mail. Are there any new lines added to the output? Do they look faulty? Maybe post them If not, try enabling roundcube logging in <RC root>/config/main.inc.php Code: // system error reporting, sum of: 1 = log; 4 = show $config['debug_level'] = 1; $config['smtp_debug'] = true; $rcmail_config['imap_debug'] = true; Make sure you have set log folders attributes so it can write to the directory/log files. If that doesn't seem to help, check wether roundcube tries to send mail via PHP mail() by enabling logging for the use of mail() in your php.ini Code: mail.log = /var/log/phpmail.info Make sure that logfile is writeable by your php processes aswell.
Thanks for the response. Code: tail -f /var/log/mail.info command gives an output: Code: tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/mail.info’ for reading: No such file or directory But if you meant: Code: tail -f /var/log/mail.log then it gives: Code: Mar 8 14:08:00 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 Mar 8 14:09:00 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31127, secured, session=<7uFcUI4tEgAuZdum> Mar 8 14:09:00 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 Mar 8 14:10:00 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31158, secured, session=<quXuU44tEwAuZdum> Mar 8 14:10:00 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 Mar 8 14:10:01 magento dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<PnMEVI4tlgB/AAAB> Mar 8 14:10:01 magento dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<u3cEVI4tmQB/AAAB> Mar 8 14:10:01 magento postfix/smtpd[31190]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 8 14:10:01 magento postfix/smtpd[31190]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 8 14:10:01 magento postfix/smtpd[31190]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Mar 8 14:11:00 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31217, secured, session=<9WiCV44tGgAuZdum> Mar 8 14:11:00 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 Mar 8 14:11:25 magento postfix/qmgr[31005]: C37381651CD: from=<[email protected]>, size=649, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 8 14:11:25 magento postfix/smtp[31228]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Mar 8 14:11:25 magento postfix/smtp[31228]: C37381651CD: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<root>, relay=none, delay=113958, delays=113958/0.02/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused) Mar 8 14:12:00 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31232, secured, session=<95oVW44tHQAuZdum> Mar 8 14:12:00 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 Mar 8 14:13:00 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31250, secured, session=<09KwXo4tHgAuZdum> Mar 8 14:13:00 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 Mar 8 14:14:01 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31264, secured, session=<SwZIYo4tHwAuZdum> Mar 8 14:14:01 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=50 out=475 ^C Immediately after sending an email, the above command spits out: Code: Mar 8 14:25:04 magento postfix/qmgr[31005]: 47B7D1653A7: from=<[email protected]>, size=519, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 8 14:25:04 magento postfix/smtp[31596]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Mar 8 14:25:04 magento postfix/smtp[31596]: 47B7D1653A7: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.06, delays=0.05/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused) Mar 8 14:25:04 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=456 out=568 Mar 8 14:25:05 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31600, secured, session=<gfrbiY4tUAAuZdum> Mar 8 14:25:05 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=70 out=654 Mar 8 14:25:07 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31603, secured, session=<JEkIio4tUQAuZdum> Mar 8 14:25:07 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=303 out=1758 Mar 8 14:25:08 magento dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=46.101.xxx.xxx, lip=46.101.xxx.xxx, mpid=31605, secured, session=<dSAJio4tUgAuZdum> Mar 8 14:25:08 magento dovecot: imap([email protected]): Disconnected: Logged out in=81 out=627 ^C So i see the line were the sending is supposed to be happening but the connection is refused.

You would have to create the phpmail.info file or whatever you want to call it. php.ini should have a commented line for mail.log setting. However Code: Mar 8 14:25:04 magento postfix/smtp[31596]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Either your amavisd doesn't like connections from 127.0.0.1 - which actually should be the only ip to accept connections from - or it crashed/ failed to start / is not configured. So the issue leads to amavisd. Try restarting amavisd and check your mail.log if there's an issue with that, maybe also the syslog. I don't know how much ubuntus logging facility differs from debian
Thanks for the reply, ztk.me. There is a high chance that the problem is with the configuration, because, as i said earlier, i tried to install newer version while the older could've been not removed completely, so things might've got wrong. Anyway, running a command: Code: service amavis restart gives an output: Code: Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: chown: changing ownership of ‘/var/run/amavis’: Operation not permitted so it seems like the problem is with that amavis service, like you said. Should i just chown -R the directory above?
Unfortunately nothing works out for me. Now i would like to remove Roundcube from my server, and try to install other client. I removed some directories that i was advised to, but Roundcube still works, i can access it via mydomain.com/webmail and log into my account. So my last question (i hope) is how to completely uninstall Roundcube (ISPConfig3, Ubuntu 14.04) and reverse all the changes that where made by installing that software? Thanks in advance.
That's very sad it didn't work out I still doubt roundcube is the issue here as it clearly looks like something went wrong with the amavis/mail server installation itself - at least for the correct permissions of the directories. This shouldn't happen. However - I don't know if you used a ready package of roundcube, then you might need to remove that by using the package manager Code: apt-get --purge remove roundcube or similar, should get rid of most of roundcube things. It might fail for folders where data has been created/modified though. Check your /usr/share/ for a roundcube folder. Also /etc/apache2 folder for roundcube configuration file, either in conf.d or conf-enabled. Then you have to remove the database user and database created for roundcube. But I'd give it a try to fix maybe further issues - now you might have to repair it, depending on what you deleted.
Hi, ztk.me, yes, it's sad to me too I wanted to use Roundcube by default but after many failed attempts i decided to give a chance to Squirrelmail, hope it goes smoothly.
Again, I don't think it is roundcubes fault, especially since the error log you posted clearly indicated there has been an issue with amavisd which is not related to the client you use ( roundcube in this case )
