I can rececive emails, but cannot send any emails
« on: February 01, 2023, 12:42:43 PM »
Hi,

I installed an CWP panel on Centos 7 and have CWP pro version.
I created several accounts and then moved on to create an email account.

I am able to receive emails, but I cannot send out any emails. All remain in the mail queue.
I checked all the recommended ports and the are open and listening.
setup is:
Posfix
spf1 staus ok
DMARC status ok
KeyTable sttus ok
TrustedHosts status ok
DKIM1 not able to enable

Can someone help me please?

Thanks,
LJ

DNS correct with an MX record in place? Verify with dig.
CSF firewall set with SMTP ports (25, 465, 587) open?
Are you starting without Clam and Amavis and SpamAssassin in the mail transport chain for simplicity?

-> I started with opendkim on and rebuild the mail server once already.

-> As I mentioned, the emails remain stuck in the queue, so it does not go anywhere byond the queue it would seem :-)

Can we arrange a time for me to access your computer and access your server to check what it could be?

Sorry, but that sounds rather scary. Maybe we can keep working on it here in the forum, in public view.

Check with your upstream, some have SMTP ports blocked due to spammers.

To check your Postfix, you can do the following form the command line:

echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "This is the subject line" {your_email_address}

Of course, replace {your_email_address} with your email.

If that doesn't work, contact your provider to confirm the ports are open.

or from outside your server network, telnet in to your server, trying ports 25, 465, 587, 110, 143, 995, 993.
Code: [Select]
telnet <server.ip> 25or do a port scan with nmap:
Code: [Select]
nmap -P0 <server.ip>

Probably doing a port scan, is it will set off csf.

And 'if' the IP is whitelisted, and is blocked on the server, it will allow it through from that IP. :/

I can confirm (testing against 3 CWP servers) that an nmap ping probe (example above) will not set off the CSF firewall. You won't block yourself by doing so.
Code: [Select]
localhost$ nmap -P0 yourserver.com
Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-02-13 02:20 MST
Nmap scan report for yourserver.com (111.111.111.111)
