Installation Of Ispconfig

[snake911]

Ok i am using kmail. And i put in all the information you said the message is being sent (it goes into my sent items, but then i can't receive the message. I created a email account in ispconfig like you guys said. But When i go to test it i don't get any messages. it says that there is no new mail in imap. Is it ok that i am sending the test message to my self is that ok??? Like i created james@netlab.com and to test i send a message to james@netlab.com.

Well so far so good i just need to get this to work. if you need any more infor i will provide it.

[till]

Have you set mbox / maildir delivery in ispconfig corresponding to your pop3 and imap daemon? If you use courier, it must be maildir. Did you get any errors in your mail log?

[snake911]

Ok well i followed this to set up my email account http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/m..._src.htm#4_2_2
Do i have to set up the mbox / maildir in the website or client side of ispconfig or is it in the email account set up.


And it didnt tell me how to set the mbox / maildir delivery in ispconfig. And the type of imap is the one that the perfect guide to madrake told me to use.

looking at my mail log i dont get any errors but i might be doing it wrong, so can you tell me the way to do it and that will make sure i am checking the right thing.

You must enable/disable Maildir in ISPConfig under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.

If you've followed the Mandrake tutorial, then Maildir should be disabled.

What's in your mail log when you send an email to james@netlab.com?

[snake911]

So you are saying i need to disable maildir for it to work. Well i check the mailq and all the messages sitting there are saying host or domain name not found name service erro for name=netlan.com type mx: host not found try again. Were all do i need to check the host name and domain name?? i mad sure that everything says net lab. I am just not understanding this error. Does it mean that the computers domian name / host is wrong or is my configuration in ispconf is wrong??

Ok what is the command to check the log file??
This is the one i am using tail -f /var/log/syslog

[till]

The error message sais, that you do not have an mx DNS record for your domain netlan.com pointing to your mailserver.

[snake911]

ok i changed that i went into dns manager and changed the settings
server: server 1
Domain (SOA): netlan.com
IP:192.168.1.1

I left the options tab allone.

I edited the records tab:
I scrolled down to mx records and i clicked on made new one
hostname:www (not sure what to put here but i left it the same as i put in the i think server setup or client host name)
mailserver:netlan.com (not sure if this needs to be IP address)

then i ran the command tail -f /var/log/syslog
and i got this.

This is when i send it from another computer. i cant get the email then.
So i thought i needed to make a new user so i made rick@netlan.com under the email tab under the website. and this is what i get when i try to send to rick@netlan.com

Dec 7 15:00:07 localhost postfix/smtpd[6396]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from netlan.com[192.168.1.1]: 450 <rick@netlan.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<james@netlan.com> to=<rick@netlan.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.1.1]>
Dec 7 15:01:01 localhost CROND[6551]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)

The authentication is working as far as i can see i am not getting any errors.

Does rick@netlan.com exist in /etc/postfix/virtusertable?
