Postfix / Re: Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot

« on: April 15, 2016, 11:04:39 AM »

I have this error and dovecot can't start... it is a fresh install on CentOS 6.6 (64bits)

Should I install sieve (yum install dovecot-pigeonhole)

Any idea how to solve this???

problems usually results from custom built OS, I recommend to use the bare bones CentOS 6 minimal.

Postfix / Re: How to Add rDNS record

The provided sample for SPF is from my own server, I know the IP was exposed but it is public anyway and I have a working firewall, if your firewall are off and you are still configuring your server, never ever post your IP address.

rDNS/PTR - ask your host provider or ISP,  Ditigal Ocean and Vulture have options for this so you won't bother them.. be warned that this 2 provider are unmanaged,you fix your server on your own.

DKIM - you can use opendkim

Code: [Select]

yum install opendkimcant' remember is WCP have this on default, been long since I last use WCP, I moved to another control panel since I need CentOS 7 and WCP only support 6.

SPF - You need to set this up in your domain name with the mail pointer..

Code: [Select]

coderinthebox.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:coderinthebox.com ip4:45.63.122.247 ip6:2001:19f0:7000:9e47:5400:00ff:fe0d:279c ?all"
MX you should have a default and working MX record with WCP. Sometimes, you need to edit it.

 SASL LOGIN authentication failed is login attempts on your dovecot/postfix server from random person trying to attack your server.

Put all the subdomains outside /public_html

This will fix all of your problem with .htaccess

Any reason why you don't want a root password? You are making your server a free for all server for spammers and botnet exploiters

E-Mail / Re: Cannot send email from my server.

« on: July 21, 2015, 05:15:58 AM »

I can't also send email out, in fact all my emails are stuck at the mail que.
One thing is odd, root@cron reports can send email out

E-Mail / Re: Webmail Says Info Is Incorrect?

« on: July 21, 2015, 05:12:01 AM »

would love to know how to fix email issues. I got problems too and it is about emails getting stuck at the que for all incoming and outgoing.

I tested your email link but found out that it redirects to http://www.stacktron.net/webmail/ from http://freefall.mobi/webmail

my 2 domains does not do that
I got both

http://magsasabon.com/webmail/
http://coderinthebox.com/webmail/

working.

maybe that is a step to start looking at

E-Mail / Mails stays in the Que

« on: July 21, 2015, 05:06:45 AM »

Hi,

I installed from fresh OS.

Everything is working fine except that emails stays at mail que, this is for both incoming and outgoing emails.

I already run out of any means to fix this problem. My VPS is a cloudbase CentOS 64
