Title: Configuring Postfix and Dovecot
Post by: Sorunome on September 06, 2013, 11:52:32 am
Hey guys, I need help configuring postfix and dovecot on my server!
The thing is, sorunome.de is working there and if i still want mail i need it working, so i am trying to get it work with my reubenquest.net domain as of now.
But the bad thing is, i just don't manage it, even though i read thousands of tutorials on the internet, even read some of the 500 pages postfix book of my brother.....
well, what /does/ work, when ssh'd into the server sending a mail to me with '$ mail sorunome'. And reading those mails over imap.
What doesn't work: sending to [email protected] (i'm pretty sure i set up the mx record correcty)
Spoiler For namecheap configuration:

Also, i tried to make an alias so that i could do '$ mail mail' (so that in future i could do [email protected] to redirect to my mail), also without success.
Sending from thunderbird won't work (maybe because thunderbird is trying to connect to imap.reubenquest.net, but i can't find a setting to change that).
Using connection security with SSL/TSL is working.
So yeah, i would be so happy if anyone could help me! :D

EDIT: Jim managed to fix it all, thank you so much jim! :D
