Hi all, as my parents have employed a new person to work for them I decided to incorporate their existing email accounts with my ispconfig server.
Since we have a dynamic ip and parents pay for mail anyway I have fetchmail fetch their mail and put it into the server's mailboxes (maildir is enabled) This was working fine and then all of a sudden they could not connect to the server to receive mail. The only way that I could/can fix this is by a server restart (I didn't just try to restart postfix because I don't know if that is the problem)
Looking through mail logs in /var/log/ I cant seem to find a problem other than Authentication Failure (don't know why this is happening as they use Outlook) and the postfix server randomly restarting.
Please help as I am trying to prove that I do have good solutions and I would if this didn't stuff up LOL!
Cheers
Chris
