- - Can't send or recieve mail either.. (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1316)

Can't send or recieve mail either..

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?

What's in your mail log (under /var/log)?

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?

It's described in the Ubuntu tutorial:

Code:

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

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.

No, that doesn't matter.

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?

The IP address that the command

Code:

ifconfig

shows for eth0 (or whatever interface you use, might also be eth1, etc.).

Possible, but I don't think so.

Quote:

Which DNS records?

Quote:

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):(
