Nginx Ubuntu Postfix Config - Can't connect to incoming IMAP server 'server not responding' but can send mail via outgoing using same details?
- by daveaspinall
I'm pretty to new server admin and especially nginx but seem to be getting ok fine apart from accessing my mail via my iPhone?
I've changed my domain to 'domain.com'
The thing is I can send mail via my outgoing IMAP server but can't connect to the incoming one? I just get the message "the mail server at mail.domain.com is not responding"

Using the following details to connect:

hostname: mail.domain.com
port: 25
iptables --list

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

I also sent mail to the server as a test and got this missage if it helps?
Technical details of temporary failure:
[mail.domain.com. (10): Connection refused]
I also looked in /var/log/mail.log and it has multiple entries of:
postfix/smtpd[12239]: connect from 5acefc9a.bb.sky.com[90.206.252.xxx]
Mar 23 06:47:09 new-domain postfix/smtpd[12239]: lost connection after CONNECT from 5acefc9a.bb.sky.com[90.206.252.154]
Notice new-domain which is incorrect but the server hostname and hostname in the configs are correct? I recently moves servers and the host has set the primary domain on the service as new-domain.com so this may be the issue?
Like I said, it works to connect to outgoing server, but incoming gets the not responding error? Any idea would be much appreciated!
