pop mail

[thedoc]

I would like to offer every domain on my ispconfig server their own pop3 mail account so their mail will be user@theirdomain. I would like to do this with pop3 so they can use outlook express or a similar program to access their mail. Could you sent me to a howto that would explain how to do this.

Thank you in advance for your assistance

I am using ispconifg3.0.0.8 on Debian Etch

What exactly is the problem?

[thedoc]

What pop server is ispconfig using and where do i set up the config for it?

[falko]

In your email client, you can use whatever address/IP is pointing to your server. Was that the question, or do you want to know what POP3 server software is installed?

I have kind of same problem (i'm not sure). I follow the how-to The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server) (http://www.howtoforge.org/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts) and after this i setup ISPConfig 2 (http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm) work just fine. But i need something additional :). I want to use Outlook Expres to manage my mail outside of LAN, inside work great and i thank you for that. Here is error message.

Does it work without SSL/TLS?

[wanderer]

Thank you falko for such a quick answer. And the answer is no, it not work with or wihtout SSL/TLS.

What's the output of netstat -tap? Are there any errors in your mail log?

I replace fqdn with server.example.com, user name with user and hi's ip with user_ip.

Looks ok. Are there any error messages in /var/log/mail.log?

[wanderer]

Nope. I test the configuration with a friend from outside of LAN, and he said he receive mail but can't send.

Please check if your ISP blocks port 25.
