OK, our VPS is back up and running. If you log
I did the installation of postfix and dovecot from this tutorial. https://yiworkdisk.netlify.app/en/linux/install_postfix.html Command line tests for msql connections: sudo postmap -q sizzelicks.com mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf 1 sudo postmap -q smok...@sizzelicks.com mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf 1 sudo postmap -q spa...@sizzelicks.com mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf smok...@sizzelicks.com <mailto:smok...@sizzelicks.com> Mail Host Folders: /var/mail/vhosts/softlinksys.com /var/mail/vhosts/sizzelicks.com Postfix and dovecot are installed and when I use the command: sudo service dovecot restart it starts and returns the cursor with no problem. I just tried to send an email to smok...@sizzelicks.com <mailto:smok...@sizzelicks.com> (see above) from MS Outlook on a laptop I got this: Server error: '550 No Such User Here"' I tried to set up a mailbox in Thunderbird for the email: smok...@sizzelicks.com <mailto:smok...@sizzelicks.com> I got a message saying that it could not connect. This time I've got nothing in the logs about trying to send the email or about trying to connect to the mailbox. Look above, you'll see that I did connect to mysql for both the domain and the email. This time I did use sha512 for the password. I got the certificate from letsencrypt, specifically for mail.softlinksys.com. The path to the file was saved in the config for postfix and dovecot. I stopped postfix and dovecot, cleared the log, started postfix & dovecot (no problem). Then I tried to send smok...@sizzelicks.com <mailto:smok...@sizzelicks.com> an email and then tried to create a mailbox in Thunderbird & connect it for smok...@sizzelicks.com <mailto:smok...@sizzelicks.com> It took me less than an hour from a rebuild to set up the firewall, ftp access, apache2 ssl secured, running php connecting to mysql for multiple virtual hosts. No problem; my sites are running fine. I absolutely *cannot* make the mail server work. I started this Wednesday before Thanksgiving, 12 hour days - I cannot make it work.
