iRedMail is a script that will take care of all the configuration of a mail server. That’s a lot less trouble for the admin as it’s really automagical! But recently after upgrading Ubunt server 12.04 to 14.04, I couldn’t send/receive my mails anymore.
And as everytime, I completly forgot where are the proper log to consult, which program were installed by iRedMail etc…Here is a post to simplify this next time I’ll have a problem:
iRedMail Debugging
If not able to send/receive mails, first try to connect the IMAP server (dovecot) using K9-mail or Roundcube. (Dovecot log : /etc/log/dovecot.log)
If login is OK, try sending a mail. And look at /etc/log/mail.log and /etc/log/mail.err
If you see : connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused the it means that Amavis is not running (port 10024). Try restarting /etc/init.d/amavis restart and check that it’s well running netstat -tap | grep amavisd if not, it could be that you server do not have enough RAM (iRedMail needs 1Go minimum). In such case, you still can run the mail server, but you’ll have to disable Amavis/ClamAV/SpamAssassin.
If your server has 1Go, then you should run Amavis in debug mode using /etc/init.d/amavis debug and see the output.
In my case, a folder in /var/lib/amavis didn’t had the appropriate rights and Amavis daemon couldn’t write inside (see below debug output)
/usr/sbin/amavisd-new[29699]: (!!)TROUBLE in pre_loop_hook: QUARANTINEDIR directory /var/lib/amavis/virusmails not writable at /usr/sbin/amavisd-new line 10926.
So I just chown -R amavis: /var/lib/amavis/virusmails and restarted my server (thanks to ZhangHuangBin). It works great now! Below, a summary of the whole iRedMail stack:
