Hi, I successfully setup iRedMail on EC2 Ubuntu, including DNS as per the iRedMail guide, and successfully received 1 email that day. Now, several days later, I've discovered I can no longer receive any messages (including from the gmail account I received the original successful email), but I can send them without issue. I've not changed my DNS setup since original setup.

* /var/log/syslog shows no updates immediately after I send an email to my iRedMail server account
* /var/log/cbpolicyd.log is empty
* /var/log/mail.err shows no new lines
* /var/log/mail.log shows no new lines after sending mail to iRedMail server account

I do have some failing cron emails in my postmaster inbox:

Error while processing /etc/awstats/awstats.smtp.conf

Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

I did have some log errors about failure to fork because my server was low on memory. I've since added a swapfile, and haven't seen any such new errors since.

What could be going wrong?

Re: Can No Longer Receive Email, but Still Can Send

Gahhh, I'm a fool. Despite it working previously, port 25 was blocked by my firewall. Let this be a lesson to some poor Googler, you really do have to check every single basic thing.

P.S. Really grateful to have iRedMail. I loath mail server administration, but this is making my life really easy. Keep up the great work!
