Guest: sorry to be a pain

Guest: i'll be right back .. gotta pop to the shop .. be back in 5 - 10 mins .. sorry



me: re-try login to webmail
now, it should be fixed
What I did: your /etc/postfix/main.cf was empty, i put a valid generic main.cf, then use ehcp->options->fix mail config, to make it suitable for your server.
then,
put something in /etc/mailname
then restart postfix.



Guest: working .. thank you very much

me: your postfix was broken somehow.. i fixed that

Guest: thank you very much for all your help

me: ok. have nice days with ehcp.
see you, bye

<li> apply debug procedures in http://ehcp.net/?q=node/771
<li> reinstall postfix: aptitude install postfix
<li> make sure /etc/postfix/main.cf is not empty. if it is empty, fill it with an example one,
<li> Try ehcp->options->fix mail config
<li> Say me results in debug windows/consoles

i tried to connect to your server by ssh, but, no luck.
make sure your server is turned on, and your router redirect all necessary ports to your server. (http://www.ehcp.net/helper/yardim/cat.php?cid=6&qid=59)

I will retry later.
