I can't send nor receive emails :(

Support
1

One week ago, i installed Yunohost and everything ran perfect. In addition, i could send and receive one test email.

But, since 4-5 days ago, i tried to send a email o receive it and nothing happens. It’s very strange because when i send an email through Thunderbird (to my gmail) i can’t see nothing in gmail, but when i go to my Roundcube app, that email appears on the send folder!

When i run this command:

sudo postfix status

…it shows:

postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: ...

And when i run this:

netstat -aunt

it shows that port …:993 is ESTABLISHED and on :::993 is LISTEN. The …:465 and the :::465 both shows LISTEN.

  • Could i run any other tests in order to fix the mail system?

  • Perhaps are the ports blocked by Digital Ocean?

No DigitalOcean lets you do everything you want with your VPS ^^

Try to restart postfix with the command

sudo service postfix restart

Then, launch the log file watching with:

tailf /var/log/mail.log

and try to send an email and receive one. The file is supposed to be filling with information. You can paste it here.

You might be using a blacklisted ip.

You can test the problem by sending a mail to test@allaboutspam.com

It will return a mail with a url that will tell the issues, if there are any.

i cant send anymore emails ,i send a email to allaboutspam and tell me my mail server is blacklisted in zen.spamhouse.org
i will try to understand why im blacklisted,or if someone hijacked and use my ip to make spam…i go now read logs…

Hey,
It was working so good…im blocked by ip in spamhaus.org im not a owner of a Static IP address so i cant remove a ip from pbl.
checked the logs,only see diferent in mail.log your tests and helo=kload.fr
how much time i will be banned?
still cant understand why this happened

I think that you are blacklisted because your ISP’s IP addresses got blacklisted… You cannot do much about it though.

If you want a static IP address and a neutral Internet access, you can use a VPN access from an ISP from the Federation FDN.

i really want have back a full feature email,i dont spam no one,in fact i just used for send 4 or five emails …never liked vpns…so maybe i can live without a email from yunohost,until i change house,and there i will have another ip,maybe it works again,i just wanted to know what was my mistake,so for the next time that blacklists dont catch me:)
