debian postfix mail problem

[stlshawn]

I have a site called troop4051.org and it is at 24.182.139.75. I ran through the perfect Debian setup, and i believe i screwed up with the email again (yes, i've been down this road before, and didn't fix it)


So, here's what i get when i try to login with outlook express using the ip address as the server.

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name was rejected. Account: 'mail.troop4051.org', Server: '24.182.139.75', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91

When i change the server name to "mail.troop4051.org" i get this message...

The host 'mail.troop4051.org' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'mail.troop4051.org', Server: 'mail.troop4051.org', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

I assume that the second one means that my server does not know that it is mail.troop4051.org, and I really don't know how would i change that. I'll have to check with zoneedit to see if i have that all pointing the right places.

i have "deselected" the maildir check in ispconfig, but i'm still stuck.

There must be something i'm overlooking. Any idea where i should start looking.

Here's what's in netstat -tap gives me.

I downloaded the webmail program, but i have done nothing to configure it. Should i do something to configure that before it's usable? Right now it won't let me log in at all.

sorry, now i'm confusing myself


OK, so to clarify,
I don't know if mail works at all, because i can't log in using outlook express or the webmail program. The webmail program just says i can't log in using the names and passwords provided. I have tried variations on the names (boo, boo@troop4051.org, web3_boo, web3_boo@troop4051) and none seem to work.

Does anyone know a thread or something i could read like "the elementary guide to setting up email in ispconfig".

Any help would be appreciated, and sorry about all the questions at once.
