I can send emails, but not receive

Hello,

On my ISPConfig setup, I can send emails using the squirrelmail webmail client, however, i am NOT receiving any emails.

My operating system is Debian 4.0 Etch (32-Bit), so I was following the INSTALL_DEBIAN.txt notes from the ISPConfig-3.0.0.6-beta.tar.gz.tar and one of the first thing I had to install was this list of programs:

Quote:

1) Install Postfix, Courier, Saslauthd, MySQL, phpMyAdmin with the following command line (on one line!):

apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl postfix-tls libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl courier-maildrop getmail4

The problem is that, when i issued that apt-get install command for that list of programs, it errored saying it could not find postfix-tls, so i removed that from the list and installed everything else.

Is it because im missing the "postfix-tls", i am not receiving any emails? Or, is this something totally different?

Anyone ever came across this problem? Please advice.

No, tahts not the problem.

Please snd an email from the webmail client to an account on the local server and then post the lines that got added to the mail.log file. Most likely your mail just got deleted as spam. Please set the spamfilter setting to "uncensored" in this mailbox for the test.

My email on the server was admin@nemesis-warcraft.com , so i sent an email to my self and it seems to have worked. This is the mail.log entries :

http://nemesis-warcraft.com/mail.log

When I created the email account, i did not enable any antivirus/spam checking feature on it.

Please do waht I told you above and set the spamfilter setting to uncensored.

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention, I did set the spam filter to uncensored setting. Still doesn't work.
