ISPConfig3 Installed/But My Mail Client is rejecting addresses

[LinuxGuyMT]

Hello,

I have finished installing ISPconfig3, but my mail server is rejecting addresses when I try to send test email. Can any one please possibly walk me through the steps to properly setup a email account in ISPconfig3 and possibly tell me if I am doing something wrong?


Thanks,
LinuxGuyMT

Can you check the /var/log/mail.* files and see if there are errors in it?

[falko]

Which distribution do you use?
Which tutorial (URL) did you use to set the system up?

[LinuxGuyMT]

I am using Debain 5.0.3 as my Distribution for linux
and the Tutorial Url is as follows :
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...nny-ispconfig3



Am hoping we can figure this out soon.

Thanks,
LinuxGuyMT

The log looks a bit strange. Is 213.177.138.57 the IP of your server or workstation?

[falko]

Can you post the output of

netstat -tap

?

Sure here is the results of that :

as for my IP to my server, no that is not my IP address...

[Mark_NL]

check /etc/courier/pop3d

##NAME: MAXPERIP:4
#
# Maximum number of connections to accept from the same IP address

MAXPERIP=?

what's that "?" value in your file?

[LinuxGuyMT]

The Following MaxperIp is as follows as pasted below:


##NAME: MAXPERIP:4
#
# Maximum number of connections to accept from the same IP address

MAXPERIP=4

This is directly from my servers Config file, Please advise further on how to fix.


Thank You,
