Strange email delivery behaviour

[zarrelli]

I did and restarted the server. The problem still remain. Here are the new configurations:

homeland:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost homeland homeland.zarrelli.org control control.zarrelli.org
88.198.37.43 control control.zarrelli.org homeland homeland.zarrelli.org

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

I forgot...

homeland:/etc/postfix# hostname
homeland.zarrelli.org
homeland:/etc/postfix# hostname -f
localhost.localdomain
homeland:/etc/postfix#

try to change your hosts file to look like this:

homeland:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
88.198.37.43 control.zarrelli.org control homeland.zarrelli.org homeland

after the change the otput of hostname command should look like this:

homeland:/etc/postfix# hostname
homeland.zarrelli.org
homeland:/etc/postfix# hostname -f
homeland.zarrelli.org

You might have to reboot the system, too.

I am having this same exact issue. (Ubuntu 5.10, ISPConfig

Just upgraded yesterday to 2.2.5 from 2.2.3. I've upgraded before without issue.

**UPDATE**

When the catchall is enabled I cannot use a mail client (TBird or outlook) because I get a server timeout error however when I turn off the catchall I can then log in with my email client.

I've run through suggestions above and my system look to be set up in the same manner as Zarelli and output looks to be good as well.

I have made other changes yesterday as well. Changed hostname but tested before upgrade and server was functioning. I've gone through postfix walkthrough as described on the perfect setup for 5.10 as well as rechecked DNS (using registrar for DNS)

--Will be happy to provide logs, files everything but physical access to the server to help resolve this issue.

(TBird or outlook) because I get a server timeout error

When you want to send or receive mail?

Yes when I crank up tbird or outlook it won't even let me connect to my mail server as I get the timeout pop-up. Works as it should when I turn off the catchall.

What's the output of

netstat -tap

when you can't connect with Outlook or Thunderbird?
