ISPConfig3, mail issues

[xstnc]

Hi,
I'm experiencing issues with e-mail on my server.
I setup the ISPConfig3 as "usual" (by following a tutorial) and everything has worked out great!
Untill now.......

Mail is queing and log is filling with:

Nov 24 21:44:31 hostname amavis[14441]: (14441-04) (!!)TROUBLE in check_mail: parts_decode_ext FAILED: file(1) utility (/usr/bin/file) error: run_command (open pipe): Can't fork at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/IO/File.pm line 66. at /usr/sbin/amavisd-new line 2892.

Any pointers on this one?

I've tried this several times.
It keeps crashing, and I have to get it up and running again.
Installed Monit to do the restarting aswell.

Why does this happen?

I think I solved it by rebooting the entire server....

I had sent One Email from another account of mine to the Account I created on ISpconfig

Ist Email was received but after that I am not able to send or recieve emails

Please advice

Can you post your /etc/postfix/main.cf here?

[abintipl]

Dear Sir,

I have made some changes in main.cf The changes I made was as under

I have uncommented
myhostname = isp.mydomain.com & have changed name of the Domain
mydomain = mydomain.com
myorigin = $myhostname
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mynetworks = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 127.0.0.0/8

Further, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my public IP address

Thanks for your kind support

[till]

The mailsystem will not work if you use a domainYou have to change:

mydomain = mydomain.com

to:

mydomain = isp.mydomain.com

and restart postfix. You can not use a domain as mydomain or myhostname in a postfix virtual setup that is used for email accounts.

[abintipl]

Sir,

I did as per your recommendations but didn't work

My Further question is as under;

I have installed ISP config on Cloud server as per shell script given on your forum thread #

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47166

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47167

Then I created Client , Email account, DNS(Manual) as per instructions given in your Manual.

My request is if you can provide the following

1. Settings on Postfix to be done ( which all files to be edited/uncommented like main.cf or any other file
2. Some Documentation to make any other changes to make trouble free working of the server

I would really appreciate your advice

Thanks
