I decided to rebuild my Linode with the latest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and setup everything from scratch. I followed this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-serve ... onfig-3-p4 I'm not receiving e-mails and I'm not able to send any. After composing a mail using SquirrelMail 1.4.23 [SVN], I get an error: "ERROR: Message Not Sent. Server Replied:" I don't even know how to start diagnosing. Please, suggestions? |

I've used their guides/community for just about anything Server related, and it's never failed me till now. |

On CentOS it's in /var/log/maillog and you'd have to either be logged in as root, or use sudo to even see it. I don't know about Ubuntu. Not to pile on, but if you're not sure how to find the log for a critical service like email, I'm not sure upgrading the OS is a good idea generally. |

It's /var/log/mail.log on Ubuntu |

Hello, I'm still unable to receive or send e-mails. I'm wondering if the best thing to do now would be to return to Ubuntu 12.04. I just cleared my "mail.log" file then logged in and attempted to send an e-mail again, still nothing. I keep getting "mail transport unavailable". I even un-installed all mail related packages and re-installed them, but I can't get it to work. Code: May 23 16:09:55 research dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<n3rve@n3rve.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=19693, secured, session=<ehnWdRP60gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Any help would be appreciated. |

Can you recommend a solution to this problem? Can I follow another guide to setup e-mails on the server? Something that'll work? I'll be willing to reverse the e-mail setup to use another solution. |

Is Amavis running? It looks like it's not working. Code: May 23 16:10:19 research postfix/qmgr[3642]: warning: connect to transport private/amavis: Connection refused Aside from that... what do your mail server's config files look like? There's probably something weird in there. |

Code: root@research:~# service amavis start No luck. Any files in particular, hoopycat? |

main.cf from postfix would be a good start... Try disabling the routing of mail through amavis and see if that gets things working again. |

=== Main.cf === Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version ===master.cf=== Code: # How do I disable routing of mail through amavis? Just uninstall it? Thanks for your help |

You refer to "research.n3rve.com" in two places Code: myhostname = research.n3rve.com Yet that subdomain doesn't have any DNS entries. No clue if that matters for your problem (plus I have a raging run of rhinopharyngitis and the associated drugs so who knows if this is completely off base) - just something that stuck out. |

I think commenting out the content_filter line will cause it to stop using amavis as a content filter. |
