Hello,

I am having problems with my new server. It is from RackShack.net, and it came with the ensim control panel - which I uninstalled, as I didn't like it :).

I've installed Webmin, and have pretty much everything under control. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the email system working - I can log in and check my pop3 email, I should have everything correctly set up for sendmail - the names, aliases, etc. But the system receives no email at all - nothing in the logs, no bounceback messages, nothing.

Sendmail is running, as is pop3. Any ideas?

Thanks!

It's possible sendmail is misconfigured to not listen on all addresses.

do a netstat -an | grep 25
If you don't see:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Your server simply is ignoring all incoming messages.

If this is the case:
Edit your sendmail.cf file and find the
# SMTP client options line. Right below it, change it so it reads:
#O ClientPortOptions=Address=0.0.0.0
so your system listens for incoming messages from all ips.

Restart sendmail, and you should start receiving email. :)
