I recently had to rebuild a server due to a supposed DOS attack. I have all the sites back on-line and generally things are functioning as they should. However, it appears that I am having an email issue of sorts. This appears to be specifically related to any email account for the various domains that I host, including my own.
The long and short of it is two indications that may or may not be related. When using an email shell such as outlook, I am unable to successfully login to the incoming email server or send any test emails using the account setup option in outlook. This goes for any user level account I have on the server. The general cfg on the shell end hasn't changed other than a reset of the password to rule that out. When I watch the exim_mainlog I see the test email come in, but nothing as far as a failed email login issue.
What I am able to do is login to either the cpanel or port :2096 and access my email. From the server interface sending and receiving is no issue. I also get emailed root alert notifications from the server. I have tried the "repair mailbox permissions" applet to no avail if that were the issue. Also I have not been able to use the Horde interface on any account since the server rebuild. I have ran the horde reset script, but not the full horde reset.
I have resolved other issues during the rebuild while setting up the server that were related to permissions, and I get the feeling that this is playing a part. The mail function itself seems operational, but when it is related to user accounts login in is when the problem pops up.
Any direction would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shoop
