My ports are open correctly and I can log into webmail. Webmail says it sends the mail but it never arrives. I can't recieve mail either.

What should my DNS records look for mail to work?

I might be wrong but from the looks of the log file you need to re-create your certificates again.

:eek: You don't have /etc/postfix/main.cf???
Did you follow any of the "Perfect Setup" tutorials?

Is the certificate needed for e-mail? How would I redo my certificate?

falko: You don't have /etc/postfix/main.cf???
I do infact have /etc/postfix/main.cf
falko: Did you follow any of the "Perfect Setup" tutorials?
I followed the Ubuntu 5.10 Perfect Setup tutorial.

I did http not https when I installed.. does that make a difforence here?

It's described in the Ubuntu tutorial:
mkdir /etc/postfix/ssl
cd /etc/postfix/ssl/
openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024
chmod 600 smtpd.key
openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -out smtpd.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in smtpd.csr -signkey smtpd.key -out smtpd.crt
openssl rsa -in smtpd.key -out smtpd.key.unencrypted
mv -f smtpd.key.unencrypted smtpd.key
openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650



I followed the Ubuntu 5.10 Perfect Setup tutorial.
Did you follow it to the letter? The best way is to open PuTTY on your windows machine and simply copy and paste the commands from the tutorial so that you cannot make typos etc. You only have to replace the IP addresses and hostnames in the tutorial with your own information.

Yes I used putty as soon as It was enabled :cool:.

It's possible I messed this part up.:o

What should my DNS records look like? what IP should I use?:confused:

Could it be gmail filtering out my e-mails?

what IP should I use?:confused:
The IP address that the command ifconfig shows for eth0 (or whatever interface you use, might also be eth1, etc.).

Could it be gmail filtering out my e-mails?Possible, but I don't think so.

What should my DNS records look like?Which DNS records?

Which DNS records?

The DNS record for the domain I'm trying to send mail from.

This is how I have my DNS record setup (DNS Manager>domain.com>Records)

IP-Adresse Hostname
192.168.15.100 www
192.168.15.100 mail
192.168.15.100 ftp

Mailserver Hostname
192.168.15.100 mail

where 192.168.15.100 is eth0's inet addr in ifconfig.

I can send mail inside my network. Outlook works correctly (inside the network aswell):(

Ok, this was a misunderstanding. If you want to use your domain also outside your network, you must use your router's public IP address for the DNS records, and forward all needed ports (e.g. 25) from your router to your ISPConfig server.
