Dear Friends,
My problem is that the Mailserver in OpenSuse 11.1 (postfix, amavisd, spamassassin, clamAV en Razor) can not recieve e-mails, outgoing is ok.
The problem started when I added 2 new users to de LDAP-server connected to Postfix.
Some users can login, but most of them are getting the error: can´t connect POP3 connection refused port 995.
What´s wrong ? and why can´t I recieve mails anymore ?
Kind regards
Jan

Check your firewall settings. Chances are the ports aren’t open.

Dear Jim,
Another question, there a 2 (virtual Opensuse) servers, the first is the LDAP server with postfix refering to home_dir= Maildir/ (Gmail) the second one has also postfix which refers to ldap, what is the reason for this. The first server has a Maildir with the mails in it.
PS the webmail refers to the second server !!
kind regards

Has this ever worked? Or is it a new system?
Besides, openSUSE 11.1 is out of maintenance, not supported anymore.

Sorry, your setup is not clearly explained. Stop, consider that we know
nothing about your setup, and explain everything carefully, and the problem.
We can not help you unless you first post the proper questions.

I’m afraid I don’t understand the question…

Dear robin,
Your are right, the matter does some explonation:
The server is a Dell 2950T (amd quad 2x); the operational system is OpenSuse 11.0
They installed VM-ware on OpenSuse and created 5 servers; the AD under w2003 server, the VPN, WEB en mailserver OpenSuse (not mentioned is the DNS server which runs W2008 server).
The problem is that I have no propper manual, the administrator who made the configuration is gone and out off reach.
So I can create new users to the AD, the ldif file is synced with the LDAP (with crontab); the ldif file is made but doesn’t sync with the LDAP.
To give the new users a mailbox etc, I used LDAPadd and created 2 new users (in the LDAP server (no 2)) so far so good.
But the problem is that I can’t recieve mail anymore.
Strange is thant the server (no 1; with webserver) has also postfix which is connected to the LDAP, which is strange because in server no 2 the postfix is configured to dir_mail=Maildir/ a G-mail protocol.
Also some old users can’t login anymore, I can but I can’t recieve any mail.
PS the system worked (recieve mail) until a created the new users (the ldif file to LDAP has never worked; so you must add new users to LDAP with ldapadd)
I hope that this explains the problem.
Kind regards
Jan

Ya no kidding.
Are both VM servers running in tandom?
Which VM did you add the users to?
It looks like someone setup a postfix server to store the mail directory. + a second postfix server to host the web application? Total guess.
Have you considered how DNS works with both VM machines? That might answer more questions.
Have you considered how internal and external access is handled on either VMs?
I would try to investigate whether security or fault tolerance is the strategy for either server.
They installed VM-ware on OpenSuse and created 5 servers; the AD under w2003 server, the VPN, WEB en mailserver OpenSuse (not mentioned is the DNS server which runs W2008 server).
Which servers are on which VM machines.
ie.
VM #1 — AD win2003
VM #2 — postfix with ldap + webmail app
VM #3 — etc etc etc
Dear all,
VM1 ; website, postfix etc (OpenSuse)
VM2 ; LDAP server, fax, FTP (OpenSuse)
VM4 ;Fileserver + AD (Win 2003 server)
VM5 ; OpenVPN (OpenSuse)
VM6 ; DNS server (Win 2008 server).
There is a WM4-2 as a sec fileserver.
with kind regards

I think so, but it is way more complex than what I can guess, even less handle.
Sorry.
If it were me, I would build it from scratch, or request the boss to hire
somebody to do it and train the people that do the maintenance. And I would
not touch the current setup, not a single bit of it.

Dear Carlos,
The system is made by a person which has left the organisation and we can´t reache him, in the near (or short) future we will build a system from scratch but in the meantime we have to deal with it.
I send an email to the mailserver an this is the message: #< #4.4.1 X-Postfix; delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused> #SMTP#
So I think thats the main problem.
The principal system is clear; to add users you use the W2003 (on server 4) system which generates an ldif file that is send to the LDAP server (server 2).
On Server 2 is the Maildir with the users (and the mailbox).
Server 1 connects to server 2 with courier/postfix to the LDAP backend, the LDAP backend is active for SMTP and POP.
So that´s understandable (I think ?)
With kind regards
Jan
Dear all,
I restarted my Mailserver, when starting the messages are ; start courier-POP3 …dead, start courier-IMAP… dead; so I think this is the problem.

Probably.
But your setup is too complex for me to make valid guesses and help.
Somebody else, perhaps, not me.

Dear all;
I restarted amavisd, and the server (no 2) and the mailserver works again; problem solved.
Everbody thanks
Kind regards

Ok, so you’re saying something killed the postfix process at the same time you added the ldap users.
Maybe that was a coincidence. It could be. You could check the logs and see if anything matches up at those exact times.

The amavis daemon, not postfix.

Dear all,
When I added users to the LDAP server the amavis deamon (like Carlos said) was " killed" so postfix didn´t work, but the situation is not all clear; is it a standard procedure that you must restart amavis after adding users ?
Kind regards
Jan
