Few questions about Hostname and emails

Hi all,

I'm currently brand new to ISPConfig and I'm very happy with it but i have some questions.

1. Is there any step-by-step guide how to configure one example domain + mail + sub domain + ftp ? I found one link here at forum but its not working that ftp any more...

2. when i creating domain (i have DNS on another server ) there is a Host name and Domain option... Domain is ok ( something line bash.sk ) but what i should put into Host name ? i have there www now and everything is working fine...

3. Here is bigger issue with mails... i created my domain, bancodata.eu, than under "User & Email" created new user so i can have ftp with my page..

i put email like info@bancodata.eu, username: web2_info, and setup password... now ftp is working fine, page also but not an email...

I installed squirell mail to ISPConfig and i can log in by using whole email address " info@bancodata.eu" and pass for user web2_info, and also sen email from there, but i do not receiving any emails... also when i send mail from squirell mail it will come with From:web2_info@example.com where thats come from ??

I also cant log in by any mail client, the same username and password which is working for squirell its not working for email clients...

What i thing is wrong is here:

Code:

proteus:/var/log# cat /etc/postfix/virtusertable

Why on earth is there "info@www.bancodata.eu" this cant be ok...

Anybody faced the same issue ? or had any idea what im doing wrong ?

I installed debian as by perfect debian setting (etch) or something like that i found here...

Best regards
Vladimir

1) No.
2) Yes, thats ok.
3) Have a look at your /var/log/mail.log logfile and post the errors.

So as i see the problem is in login in it and i still cant get why it sending mail like "web2_info@example.com" which should be automatically info@bancodata.eu

... any idea, how to fix it ?

Thank you and best regards
Vladimir

You used the wrong username in Thunderbird, the username is web2_info and not the email address.

Please do what I posted above. Go to options in squirrelmail and set the sender address correctly.

I found it, you where right, its working fine all now. Thanks for help
