some problem after installing perfect server setup for centos 5.3 and ispconfig 3

[cobro]

i did fallow this great server setup The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.2 [ISPConfig 3]

but i have don some thing wrong my mail is not working right this is what i get if i try to send e-mail to my e-mail server on my new box

--> The following message to <name@domain.com> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'relay not permitted' <---

and also one thing if i go in ispconfig admin panel and go to monitor and then show ispc cron-log this is what is shows me

---> Error: configuration file /etc/getmail/*.conf does not exist <---

and then final fail2ban is not installed but i did installed it and ispconfig tells me that is it not installed

--->fail2ban is not installed at this server.
See more (for debian) here... <---

and one more thing i cannot connect to my webmail ?

---> Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /webmail on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. <---

i think my ispconfig is running ok so this is not that but the packages that i did installed i have done them wrong but if anyone could help me that would be well appreciated :)

Please make sure that the MX record for your domain is pointing to the correct server. You can check that with
dig mx yourdomain.com

Please make sure that the MX records of the other domains are ok as well. Also, you should check if your server is blacklisted: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

[cobro]

I had a sort of same problem with my mail in the beginning, this is only on setups with centos 5.3 i think

If you install postfix with 'yum install postfix' it installs postfix without mysql and you need the with mysql option. This is a problem of the default repo's of centOS.

You need thisone:
Installed Packages
Name : postfix
Arch : i386
Epoch : 2
Version : 2.3.3
Release : 2.el5.centos.mysql_pgsql
Size : 8.3 M
Repo : installed
Summary : Postfix Mail Transport Agent
URL : http://www.postfix.org
License : IBM Public License
Description: Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), supporting LDAP, SMTP AUTH

If this package is also not in the rpmforge repo than you have to download the .rpm from a rpm search site and install it

this is what i get

SORBS-DUHL Listed LISTED Dynamic IP Addresses See: Detail

Return codes were: 127.0.0.10 3505 1969

Please make sure that the MX records of the other domains are ok as well. Also, you should check if your server is blacklisted: http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

This means that your server is located on a dynamic IP. Most mailservers worwide do not accept emails from a server that is hosted on a dynamic IP address. You will either have to move your server to a datacenter witha fixed IP or you will have to setup postfix to relay all emails trogh an external mail server.

How about that fail2ban problem? My server also reports it as not installed, although I have installed it. CentOS 5.3 here, too.

Later edit: sorry for this post, I found the answer: fail2ban must be configured separately.
I added the following for pure-ftpd and activated also the sshd in jail file
[pure-ftpd-iptables]

enabled = true
filter = pure-ftpd
action = iptables[name=PureFTP, port=ftp, protocol=tcp]
sendmail-whois[name=PureFTP, dest=root@mydomain.tld, sender=fail2ban@mydomain.tld]
logpath = /var/log/pureftpd.log
maxretry = 5

Hope it is correct; I'm waiting to see some results, as there are already some guys trying to connect by ftp :)

How do you mean fail2ban must configured seperately? What do i have to configure to make it work with ispconfig? I have centos 5.3 too..

[escu]

Simple: after everything is working, go to /etc/fail2ban

Here, open jail.conf in your favorite editor. Find the entry:


[ssh-iptables]

enabled = false
filter = sshd
action = iptables[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp]
sendmail-whois[name=SSH, dest=root@server1.icsys.ro, sender=fail2ban@icsys.ro]
logpath = /var/log/sshd.log
maxretry = 5


and change enable = false to enable = true for SSH. Do the same for the other services you wish to protect, as well. Also add the entry I posted in the previous message, for pure-ftpd.

After saving the file, give the command service fail2ban restart then check the logs in IPConfig.
