Howdy,

Whenever that occurs, try looking in the mail logs -- /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log -- do you see any errors in there?

Also, do you notice any errors in the Apache error log for your domain, located in $HOME/logs/error_log?

Howdy,

If you look in your email logs, do you see any errors when trying to send an email to your server?

Do you at least see a connection attempt by the sending server?

Howdy,

Unfortunately, that delivery status notification doesn't explain why it was delayed... you'll need to try what I mentioned in my comment above -- try sending yourself an email, then review the mail logs.

Aha, that looks good... it appears that you sent an email to "root@server.mydomain.com"?

The email logs show that message being delivered -- we can tell that by this part in the logs:

delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail

If you didn't receive that message, then the next step is to look in /var/log/procmail.log to see where the email went.

Howdy,

You seem to be seeing some unusual errors, I'm not sure what would cause these two:

procmail: Unable to treat as directory "//Maildir"
procmail: Error while writing to "//Maildir"

It could potentially be a permissions issue, though usually when that's the case it explicitly states that.

Regarding your current Dovecot issue though -- if you're receiving a connection refused error, make sure that Dovecot is actually running. If it is, you'd want to check the email logs to see what errors are occurring.

Howdy,

Hmm, it looks like it's working in some cases, but not others.

The logs above show the email to the user "ahmed@mydomain.com" was delivered to that user's inbox.

There was another email sent later from root@mydomain.com to the user "nobody" that is causing all those unusual messages.

However, the email to ahmed@mydomain.com should be there, and should be visible.

What happens when trying to view that message? Are you still receiving a connection error of some sort when trying to open it?

the email to ahmed@mydomain.com is there and i can see it also throw roundcube and SquirrelMail without any problem more

but when i send an email from roundcube to hotmail for example i got this error SMTP Error (-1):

and when i send an email from hotmail to ahmed@mydomain.com i cant get this and see it ..

so where is the problem now

andreychek

For each of those issues, you need to use the mail logs to identify what's going on.

Try sending yourself an email from Hotmail -- and immediately after doing that, look in the mail logs to see what shows up. There should be a connection attempt from Hotmail.

And when trying to send an email from Roundcube -- look in the mail logs, and see what errors are thrown.

Howdy,

It looks like you have a variety of third party repositories installed.

Those can cause a variety of problems.

So first off, my suggestion would be to disable all third party repositories.

Second, I don't see the Virtualmin repository mentioned in the above. So once all the third party repositories are disabled, I'd suggest making sure that the Virtualmin repository is enabled.

Well, we're getting a bit off the original topic here, which might make things a bit tough to keep track of.

So why don't we do this --

Can you start a new Forum thread, and in that thread, let us know the issue that you're currently seeing -- the errors you're seeing when installing dkim-milter, and the files that you have in /etc/yum.repos.d.

Also, let us know how you initially performed you're Virtualmin installation -- whether it was done using the install.sh, or whether it was done using some other method.

Thanks!
