Correct DNS configuration with ISPConfig3?

Posted on February 13, 2015

Hello everyone thank you in advance for your advices. I have been trying to solve this by miself but I really can´t, need some help

I have installed ISPConfig3 with nginx following this guide “The Perfect Server - CentOS 7 x86_64 (nginx, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)”

Then I followed the docs in here to create client, site, email domain and a mailbox (contacto@tilabmx.com) but when I send emails, don´t reach the receiver.

I suspect that this have something to do with my dns configuration, because I can acces to roundcube with tilabmx.com:8081/webmail

This are my DNS records:

$ORIGIN tilabmx.com. $TTL 1800 tilabmx.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.tilabmx.com. 1423828442 10800 3600 604800 1800 tilabmx.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. tilabmx.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. tilabmx.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. tilabmx.com. 1800 IN A 104.236.83.190 mail.tilabmx.com. 1800 IN A 104.236.83.190 www.tilabmx.com. 1800 IN A 104.236.83.190 tilabmx.com. 1800 IN MX 10 mail.tilabmx.com.

I can acces my site tilabmx.com and with www.tilabmx.com but I don´t understand the appropiate configuration in DNS to make it work (mail server)

Again thank you very much! I hope someone can help me

Your dns looks good.

Check your mail logs to see if any errors are showing up.

I checked /var/log/maillog and at the end there is one error

Feb 13 16:09:05 tilabmx postfix/qmgr[1104]: EAA014260D: from=stiuvert0007@gmail.com, size=1760, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 13 16:09:05 tilabmx postfix/smtp[25443]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused Feb 13 16:09:05 tilabmx postfix/smtp[25443]: EAA014260D: to=contacto@tilabmx.com, relay=none, delay=42538, delays=42538/0.03/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

Looks like email is coming but can´t reach roundcube, right? I think this is because roundcube works with SMTP right?

How can I config SMTP after the installation of roundcube?

Well this is what I think it is but I´m asking for help.

Again thank you in advance and have a great day!

Amavisd isn’t running.

Just try restarting it.

With debian/ubuntu the command is service amavis restart

Not sure about centos but systemctl start amavisd.service
