Can not send mail out to any outside domain

[Txchaser]

I have ISP Config installed and set up. I think everything is correct but it must not be. I installed Squirrelmail, made sure all ports are open on ISP Config. checked my local ports and everything is open as far as I know but might not be set to the right port #'s maybe. I can receive e-mail from everyone. In Squirrelmail I can compose and then click send it says the message has been delivered but the recipient never gets it. This is not just with specific addresses as I have seen in the past post. This happens no matter where I am sending the e-mail to. Also there is an attachment that comes in with every e-mail no matter where its comming from. here is the attachment.

SquirrelMail notice messages
Category: PHP
Message: preg_split() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given
FILE: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/squirrelmail/functions/imap_messages.php
LINE: 926
Category: PHP
Message: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
FILE: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/squirrelmail/functions/mime.php
LINE: 52



Can someone help me out to figure out why mail is not sending out and why this notice message comes in with every e-mail as well. It would be greatly appreciated.

Any error messages in the mail.log file?

I have been searching for the error log. Where would this log be located?

[falko]

It's in the /var/log directory.

Hope that these 2 will help ty for your support in this.

One of the problem is that for any reason your Postfix MTA is not running.
Try to start it with the command: /etc/init.d/postfix start

[Txchaser]

sry took a while to reply I have been away. I tried starting the posfix like you had said and still no luck on sending an e-mail out to anyone. Anything else I should check?

What's the output of

ls -la /etc/postfix

?

Please run

postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable

and restart Postfix.
Can you also post the output of

ls -la /var/spool/postfix/etc/postfix

?
