I Can send but not receive emails
 

Well I've perused the forums but to no avail and feel more confused than ever :o

I was unable to send/receive external emails until I started "sendmail".
Now I am able to send emails but I am not receiving any.
Local network emails worked fine.

Should I install/start "fetchmail"?

To avoid port problems I have temporarily disabled all firewalls and was sending to and from a hotmail account to check if the mail server could be found from "out there". No mail error messages were received so one would expect to see the emails on the server :mad: .

No.

Which linux distribution have you installed?
Have you set mbox / maildir correctly for your server setup under Management > Server > Settings in the controlpanel?
Did you get messages in the logs that the emails have been received ord dont you get any messages in the logs?

Does the MX record for your domain point to your machine?

I have the same problem, i did post under the thread "i can send mail but not reciev"
my isp is not blocking port no.25.becouse i can telnet from other servers
and i can send email. Linux Fire wall is off and my router is pointing port no 25 and 110 to the server. i thing there is some thing to do with DNS but i dont know what.
while when use dig command i got this i have 2 domain in ISPConfig for one i have selected to creat mx record and for the second not and didnt select for both in ISPConfig to creat a dns.

maillog is just normel but the sender to my server got this with non delivered mail
Deferred: mail.mydomain.net.: No route to host

Ok, you're using dovecot which uses the Maildir format to store emails. Please make sure you've enabled Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email in ISPConfig.

yes it was not but i did enabeled it now and still not working the strange thing is that i can reciev mails from the same server and from the email what my ISP has provided.

Check that mail.domain.net points to the correct (public!) IP address, and if your server is behind a router, make sure you forward port 25 from your router to your ISPConfig server.

port no.25 is pointing to the box on which postfix and ispconfig is running.
where and how to check it if its pointed to the corect ip address?
