something wrong with mail & hostname

if i send message myself, i see such error in /var/log/maillog:

Code:

B7A094F2043F: to=<web11_me@localhost.localhost>, orig_to=<postmaster@thehostman.net>, relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=localhost.localhost type=A: Host not found)

i'm 100% sure, email exists. and web11_me exists too. and if ping localhost.localhost, 127.0.0.1 (so my server) replies.
ftp, www, sending emails work. the only one which doesnt is receiving emails :/
i'm under fedora core 4, setuped by "the perfect setup"

What's in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts?

Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1

nameserver 203.141.128.34

nameserver 203.141.128.33

and

Code:

cat /etc/hosts



# 'hosts' file configuration.



127.0.0.1       indre.local     localhost

219.117.228.243 indre   indre

Try to change your /etc/hosts file to this:

Code:

# 'hosts' file configuration.



127.0.0.1       indre.local     localhost     localhost.localhost

219.117.228.243 indre   indre

tried. didnt helped.

and i tried to set mydomain/hostname to my real domain.tld. this gets me "looppbacking to myself" error.

a part of a log:

Code:

Jan 13 01:18:39 spider-webhosting postfix/smtp[20921]: 7CEA54F20427: to=<web11_me@mail.thehostman.net>, orig_to=<postmaster@thehostman.net>, relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced (mail for mail.thehostman.net loops back to myself)

as i see from logs, it's received to postmaster@thehostman.net succesfully. but it fails to forward it to local mailbox. which seems to be working too :)

what should i enter into mydomain and myhostname in /etc/psotfix/main.cf ?

so, summary:
if myhostname and/or mydomain set to any local name - fail with "cant find A entry" error

if these two set to my domain - fail with "loops back to myself"

This is easy to solve: put mail.thehostman.net at the bottom of /etc/postfix/local-host-names (where it says that you're allowed to make manual entries) and restart Postfix:

Code:

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

Under Co-Domains. However, the subdomain must be set up in DNS first.

No, clients can login only to ISPConfig. Client are ISPConfig users, but not system users.
The users you create under "User & Email" can use FTP.

Did you follow the Fedora 4 "Perfect Setup"? I don't mention PostgreSQL there so I guess you did something wrong (maybe a typo...). You should try to use PuTTY on your Windows machine and simply copy and paste the commands from the tutorial to the shell to avoid typos.
