    Which pop3 / imap daemon do you use?

    If you use courier or dovecot, you will have to activet the maildir checkbox in ISPConfig under management > server > settings on the mail tab.

    Does "dig mx me.dyndns.org" points to me.dyndns.org and me.dyndns.org points to your IP address?

    hi till,

    Is the hostname important at Centos instalation .

    I put "server101" instead of "me.dyndns.org"

    If it's important how can i change it in CentOS and reflect it in ISPconfig.

    Thx

    You can change the hostname of your server in the file: /etc/hostname

    Please have a look in your mail.log, if you get any errors there.

    Did you create DNS records for myotherserver.com? Can you post the real domain name here?

    Hi falko,

    when it try to send mail from ISPconf to [email protected]
    i have this

    Apr 25 06:37:48 me postfix/smtp[11809]: 9285B181BF: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=10, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for nam

    ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> mx www.msn.com
    ;; global options: printcmd
    ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

    i think, it's not come from msn the problem ^^ and not from www.myotherserver.com (a product server).

    lynx www.msn.com
    and
    lynx www.myotherserver.com

    work find

    i think i cant resolve mx on my ISPconf server

    why ?, i dont know.

    thx

    PS :

    From my product server www.myotherserver.com if i do

    dig mx www.me.dyndns.org
    ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> mx www.me.dyndns.org
