I followed the howto perfect server setup for ubuntu 8.04 then followed the virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04 and all the tests seem to work except trying to connect to the server via thunderbird . here is a snip from tail syslog Jul 23 20:36:43 mail2 postfix/smtp[11828]: connect to mail2.the-halls.ca[69.49.41.150]:25: Connection timed out Jul 23 20:36:43 mail2 postfix/smtp[11828]: 54FD524566: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=80228, delays=80187/0.23/40/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail2.the-halls.ca[69.49.41.150]:25: Connection timed out) Jul 23 20:38:01 mail2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[11834]: (root) CMD (/etc/webmin/virtual-server/collectinfo.pl) Jul 23 20:39:01 mail2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[11876]: (root) CMD ( [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm) Jul 23 20:43:01 mail2 /USR/SBIN/CRON[11886]: (root) CMD (/etc/webmin/virtual-server/collectinfo.pl) when a use telnet localhost 25 comes back the way the howto stated also with the telnet pop3. also had some telnet from another isp and they get in to the server with 25 and pop any ideas would be great! Thank you for your time and patience
It seems the server has problems connecting to the outside world: Code: Jul 23 20:36:43 mail2 postfix/smtp[11828]: 54FD524566: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=80228, delays=80187/0.23/40/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail2.the-halls.ca[69.49.41.150]:25: Connection timed out) Please check if your server is blacklisted: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
