something wrong with mail & hostname

if i send message myself, i see such error in /var/log/maillog:

Code:

B7A094F2043F: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=localhost.localhost type=A: Host not found)

i'm 100% sure, email exists. and web11_me exists too. and if ping localhost.localhost, 127.0.0.1 (so my server) replies.
ftp, www, sending emails work. the only one which doesnt is receiving emails :/
i'm under fedora core 4, setuped by "the perfect setup"

 

What's in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts?

 

Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 203.141.128.34
nameserver 203.141.128.33

and

Code:

cat /etc/hosts

# 'hosts' file configuration.

127.0.0.1       indre.local     localhost
219.117.228.243 indre   indre

 

tried. didnt helped.

and i tried to set mydomain/hostname to my real domain.tld. this gets me "looppbacking to myself" error.

a part of a log:

Code:

Jan 13 01:18:39 spider-webhosting postfix/smtp[20921]: 7CEA54F20427: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced (mail for mail.thehostman.net loops back to myself)

as i see from logs, it's received to [email protected] succesfully. but it fails to forward it to local mailbox. which seems to be working too

what should i enter into mydomain and myhostname in /etc/psotfix/main.cf ?

so, summary:
if myhostname and/or mydomain set to any local name - fail with "cant find A entry" error

if these two set to my domain - fail with "loops back to myself"

 

This is easy to solve: put mail.thehostman.net at the bottom of /etc/postfix/local-host-names (where it says that you're allowed to make manual entries) and restart Postfix:

Code:

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

 

argh, i just removed ispconfig as i was sooooooooo angry :/

anyway, thanks for suggestion.
i will try this tomorrow.

or, and one more question... how can end-user create subdomain?

and can end-client login into ftp with it's main password from ISPconfig?

 

So close to the solution...

Under Co-Domains. However, the subdomain must be set up in DNS first.

No, clients can login only to ISPConfig. Client are ISPConfig users, but not system users.
The users you create under "User & Email" can use FTP.

 

i installed all the stuff again but i'm getting stupud cant login error, because authdaemond error because it tries to lookup something in postgreSQL

i dont want to run all the setup again :/
which step did i miss?

 

Did you follow the Fedora 4 "Perfect Setup"? I don't mention PostgreSQL there so I guess you did something wrong (maybe a typo...). You should try to use PuTTY on your Windows machine and simply copy and paste the commands from the tutorial to the shell to avoid typos.

 

yes, i followed.
and i'm unable to use PuTTY as i'm under Gentoo
will try today again.

 

i know this very well

i'm not new to linux. but i'm total newbie in web servers managing (at the moment, setuping only )

finally emails are working. but only partiately.

i cant login to email and ftp (proftpd) both. as i see from logs, there's something wrong with authd. and i still finished near-complete perfect setuping :/

i see this error in mail logs:

Code:

authdaemond: Connection to server 'pgsql.example.com' userid 'admin' database 'template1' failed.

i think i cant login into ftp because of the same reason.
how can i fix that? please dont sugggest to reinstall everything again..... :'(

 

Have you tried to set up virtual hosting with Postfix on top of the Fedora Core 4 tutorial? This doesn't work with ISPConfig! You have to follow only the "Perfect Setup" for FC4 ( http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_4 ), and at the end it should work. Don't try to configure Postfix and Proftpd to use MySQL databases.

 

no, no.
after i uninstalled ISPconfig (which was working near perfectly at that moment) i tried to reconfigure everything by "install VHCS2 on fedora core" howto, founded on vhcs.net.
after that, i removed all the packages, list in "Perfect Setup" (except courier-sasl & courier-sasl-devel) and runned trough the whole howto once more.

i disabled postgreSQL and MySQL modules of authdaemond and now i get just "LOGIN FAILED" error in /var/log/maillog

 

Maybe you should consider a clean re-install?

 

apt-get threatens to remove gnome and many system-config-* applications if i remove cyrus-sasl :/

anyway, why do i need X11 if server is thousands miles away from me

if this 'd fail, is there any ways to restore fedora core 4 to it's original state without inserting cds etc?

 

spent the whole night for removing packages and reinstalling them......
and nothing!!!!!!!!!

i still get same authdaemond error that it tries to connect to pgsql.example.com

and i cant connect to ftp too :'(

i even removed all the config directories related to postfix and reinstalled em but nothing :/

 

i found that sasl seems to be not working. for example:
with saslpasswd i add username "me" and password "me". then write saslauthd1-checkpass -u me -p me and it gives me such error:

Code:

NO: -13 (authentication failure)

sasldblistusers says:

Code:

user: me realm: thehostman.net mech: DIGEST-MD5
user: me realm: thehostman.net mech: CRAM-MD5
user: me realm: thehostman.net mech: PLAIN

wtf is here?
