I have a new install of ISPConfig3, on a server running on my work network, it has a local IP, and we have a external IP forwarded onto it. I have set up a site on the server, which was successfull working on another server, and have made all the necessary dns changes. I can see the site on the web, I can access webmail from the web, but cannot receive or send emails in any way. I checked the erro logs, and one thing that seems common in the logs is l 29 08:51:00 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[9967]: connect from localhost[::1] Jul 29 08:51:09 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10008]: SSL_accept error from mail-yk0-f173.google.com[209.85.160.173]: lost connection Jul 29 08:51:09 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10008]: lost connection after CONNECT from mail-yk0-f173.google.com[209.85.160.173] Jul 29 08:51:09 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10008]: disconnect from mail-yk0-f173.google.com[209.85.160.173] Jul 29 08:52:12 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10008]: connect from mail-yk0-f172.google.com[209.85.160.172] Jul 29 08:53:08 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10228]: SSL_accept error from vm01-marty.h4ahosting.com[41.86.105.121]: Connection timed out Jul 29 08:53:08 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10228]: lost connection after CONNECT from vm01-marty.h4ahosting.com[41.86.105.121] Jul 29 08:53:08 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10228]: disconnect from vm01-marty.h4ahosting.com[41.86.105.121] Jul 29 08:53:09 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10229]: SSL_accept error from mail-yk0-f169.google.com[209.85.160.169]: lost connection Jul 29 08:53:09 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10229]: lost connection after CONNECT from mail-yk0-f169.google.com[209.85.160.169] Jul 29 08:53:09 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10229]: disconnect from mail-yk0-f169.google.com[209.85.160.169] Jul 29 08:55:02 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10353]: connect from localhost[::1] Jul 29 08:55:02 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10353]: SSL_accept error from localhost[::1]: lost connection Jul 29 08:55:02 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10353]: lost connection after CONNECT from localhost[::1] Jul 29 08:55:02 server1 postfix/smtps/smtpd[10353]: disconnect from localhost[::1] Please could someone shed some light on this for me. Thanks
Please check the /etc/postfix/master.cf file and ensure that there is no # in front of the smtps and submission lines.
Thanks sorted. I have another issue which is not the same. I am unable to access my ISPConfig Control Panel through my public address, only through my private IP on my LAN. Why should I be looking for.
I thought as much. SInce I can access the email and web sites on the server, it must be a case of port 8080 not being open on the router properly.
Some routers are using port 8080 for their own purposes. If thats the case on your router, then you can try to e.g. forward port 8090 on the router t port 8080 on the server, this way you can access ispconfig on port 8090 from outside.
