Firstly, I'd just like to say thanks for this HOWTO, it's excellent. I followed this guide through to setup my F7 server. The web server: apache/php/mysql works great and without any issues. I decided I needed to support mail and ftp, so I went back to the guide and went through the setup for postfix and proftpd. I think both are failing for the same reason. They both seem to fail with "No route to host". I'm behind a router. Both ports 21 and 25 are forwarded to the server; as 80 is for the web server. # ftp localhost => works fine # ftp mydomainname => no route to host If I attempt to ftp to the server remotely, it times out and returns 'connection closed by remote host'. With sendmail, the maillog contains a couple errors: Code: sendmail[5646]: l83LtcrQ005646: l83LtcrR005646: DSN: User unknown postfix/smtp[5815]: connect to mydomainname.com[xx.xx.xx.145]: No route to host (port 25) This is my /etc/hosts file : Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.132 server1.mydomainname.com server1 ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
I tried disabling the software firewall: Code: # /etc/init.d/iptables save # /etc/init.d/iptables stop This solved my ftp issue! Mailing myself@localhost, I get this: Code: Sep 3 16:13:49 server1 postfix/local[6360]: DB3F231B02C3: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.05, delays=0.04/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Sep 3 16:13:49 server1 postfix/qmgr[5745]: DB3F231B02C3: removed Sep 3 16:13:49 server1 postfix/smtpd[6353]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] But mail still says I have no mail.
mail says I have no mail; even though I can see files in my /Mailbox. Also, I can send mail, but receiving does not work. If I try to send mail to my domain, it bounces with: PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied
I guess I have not setup any email accounts. Do I just do this via postfix? I just followed the guide, I'm no linux guru. I did not install ISPConfig and did not intend to. (maybe it would make my life easier) Is there a guide I should follow to do this? I guess I need to add a MX record to the dns as well?
