OK, I apologize for any obvious mistakes in advance since I'm kind of new to the whole thing with Linux, my own server and so on... I've managed to install Debian with LAMP (latest stable on all of them) and I've set up so I can have different virtual domains to different directories the webserver part isn't really at a problem, it's when I'm trying to install Postfix I run into problems. I've followed the -Virtual Users And Domains... how-to and gotten to part 10 (I haven't gotten any errors in previous tests so far) where I'm supposed to test the mailserver by connecting to it with the commandline telnet localhost 25 when I get the following response - Code: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I check my mail log which says Code: Feb 14 18:01:42 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:81.170.129.165] Feb 14 18:01:47 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:81.170.129.165] Feb 14 18:02:13 localhost last message repeated 5 times Feb 14 18:11:43 localhost courierpop3login: Connection, ip=[::ffff:81.170.129.165] Feb 14 18:11:49 localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:81.170.129.165] Feb 14 18:12:14 localhost last message repeated 5 times when I do netstat -tap I get the following Code: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:10024 *:* LISTEN 1755/amavisd (maste tcp 0 0 *:717 *:* LISTEN 2231/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 1407/portmap tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN 2117/inetd tcp6 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 2069/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 2090/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 2077/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 2039/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 2242/apache2 tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2227/sshd tcp6 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 2242/apache2 tcp6 0 0 ::ffff:192.168.0.19:ssh ::ffff:192.168.0.1:1431 ESTABLISHED2348/sshd: admin [p and cat /etc/postfix/master.cf looks like this Code: ../ snip /.. ========================================================================== # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100) # ========================================================================== smtp inet n - - - - smtpd #submission inet n - - - - smtpd # -o smtpd_etrn_restrictions=reject #628 inet n - - - - qmqpd pickup fifo n - - 60 1 pickup cleanup unix n - - - 0 cleanup qmgr fifo n - - 300 1 qmgr #qmgr fifo n - - 300 1 oqmgr rewrite unix - - - - - trivial-rewrite bounce unix - - - - 0 bounce defer unix - - - - 0 bounce trace unix - - - - 0 bounce verify unix - - - - 1 verify flush unix n - - 1000? 0 flush proxymap unix - - n - - proxymap smtp unix - - - - - smtp relay unix - - - - - smtp # -o smtp_helo_timeout=5 -o smtp_connect_timeout=5 showq unix n - - - - showq error unix - - - - - error local unix - n n - - local virtual unix - n n - - virtual lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp anvil unix - - n - 1 anvil # # Interfaces to non-Postfix software.
