Gentoo Installation

Yes, it doesn't make sense to me, too.

/etc/init.d/postfix start
-> network broken
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
-> network is working
/etc/init.d/postfix start
-> network broken again
.....

I don't know much about postfix, so I have no idea here.
The only thing I've changed is the one in your howto: "the ”-” to an “n” in the chroot column for the two “smtp” entries in /etc/postfix/master.conf."

edit:
I've killed each process, one after another and the network was still broken (only!) with this processes running (every other except init and my bash was killed):

Code:

26005 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/lib/postfix/master
26012 ?        S      0:00  \_ qmgr -l -t fifo -u
26015 ?        S      0:00  \_ pickup -l -t fifo -u -c
26017 ?        S      0:00  \_ cleanup -z -t unix -u -c

after:
kill 26005
the network was working normally.

EDIT2:
A very big sorry, the problem has nothing to do with postfix or isp-control. The reason for it was my openvz ressource limit configuration.
The limit "132096" for "othersockbuf" was to low, postfix seems to use all of it. That's the reason why no other programm can use more ressources (e.g. ping domain.tld).
This raises the question why postfix is eating so much "othersockbuf"? The value was the standard value, so you can assume that everyone will have this problem with openVZ.

After: "vzctl set VM_ID --othersockbuf $((2*132096)):$((2*336896)) --save"
it seems to be solved. Now I'm very happy that I can start testing isp-control now


Thanks a lot for helping me and giving the right impulses!

EDIT3:
It would also be very helpful if you mention in the howto, that you need to emerge awstats if you want to use it
