Unable to send or receive mail on i-mscp

    System config:


    Debian Squeeze on a VPS
    i-mscp 1.1.0-rc1.4


    I have setup an email account and tried sending email via webmail. However even though the gui reports successfully sending the email, the mail isnt getting send. Please help me get to the root of this issue

    The latest log entries show connection timeouts but DNS works fine...



    Do you run a firewall or something?
    Or you may be blocked by Google, but I don't think so...
    Have you tried sending to another adress? like trashmail.net or similar...



    Beside that, in what timezone do you live? :)


    No, I havent setup any firewall. Besides imscp installation, the debian server is clean. I tried sending to hotmail and mailinator. It doesnt get delivered.

    There seems to be an error stating that port 25 cannot be used. Is it a serious issue?


    My timezone is Asia/Kolkata.

    Hmm... where does the server live? At your home or somewhere in a datacenter? Your ISP at home might block port 25 (spam issues)

    It's a myrsk datacentre. I'm not sure about the physical location. Probably in Russia.

    Port 25 is blocked on the VPS =)


    It was the VPS provider. Apparently they block the email ports by default until the customer supports a request, and affirms that he wont send spam. Daft if you ask me. But there it is.


    Thanks c0urier.


    Edit:
    They've unblocked the ports. Now sending mail from the server works. However I'm unable to receive mail.


    I get the following error when the mail bounces off the server:


    Code
    1. Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: j*@j*.inTechnical details of permanent failure:Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain j*n by r2d2.j*.in.

    DNS details:


    Is my MX record correct? r2d2 is that name of the server.
