[solved] STMP port 25 DOWN

[lthh89vt]

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to ispcp, linux and trying to ispcp on my server. But I cannot turn port 25 (SMTP) on.
I played around with postfix, but still no answer.
Can anyone suggest me where I should start at?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.x 64 bits

Thanks,

[joximu]

/etc/init.d/postfix start

and then tail /var/log/mail.info
for the log...

Many thanks,\

Hi

Quote:Aug 27 19:23:11 melitgroup postfix/master[11829]: fatal: bind 0.0.0.0 port 25: A ddress already in use

this says that there is another program using the port 25.

and the other log entries show something like "sm-mta" which is running...

so - stop sm-mta and maybe uninstall it, then there should be no problem using postfix.

Hi,

Thanks for you help. But I cannot stop sm-mta (unknown job).
And

Quote:Aug 27 19:23:11 melitgroup postfix/master[11829]: fatal: bind 0.0.0.0 port 25: A ddress already in use

Is it used by bind?

Thanks,

Hi,
I stop sendmail and it's working,
But I only can send email but cannot receive any email.
Could you please also help me with this.
Regards

[joximu]

no, in this case bin is only the term for "connecting the application to this ip/port"....

what do you get with

netstat -tlpn | grep ":25"

the end of the lines should show the pid of the running program which is bound to port 25.

ps aux | grep <the-pid>

try this and then you should get the software name. Hopefully...

I think it's a sort of sendmail....

maybe also "dpkg -l | grep mail" brings something...

ah - yes, you wrote sendmail.

ok, you should uninstall sendmail....

"aptitude remove sendmail" (or similar... I don't know ubuntu...)

Many thanks,

ok, if postgrey is on 10023 then you may change the port numbers in /etc/postfix/main.cf (and maybe master.cf???)

and the other thing:
"warning: do not list domain melitgroup.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains"

I'd change mydestination to something with a host - not only domain...
