    ISPConfig does not support sendmail. Please remove it. Postfix is all you need.

    I think this is not true. I saw some sendmail code in ISPConfig, and the homepage says:

    But personnaly I also think that Postfix is the right direction.

    I stand corrected :eek:
    Sendmail is supported. But not both on the same server. So warrior needs to make a choice.

    Please install dovecot:
    Code:
    yum install dovecot
    That will install a POP3 and IMAP server. No more configuration is needed.

    Did you create email accounts?
    Do you use ISPConfig?

    Is your server behind a router, or is it connected directly to the internet? If it's behind a router, you must forward port 25 from your router to your server. Also make sure your ISP doesn't block port 25.

    Is there anything in the mail log when you try to send a mail to your server?

    You try to send emails to inge.localdomain? That's no real domain name and cannot work.
