Hi guys,

my email works fine , suddenly yesterday  i have a problem accessing my webmail outside my network. i tried to troobleshoot, i've tried to restart the iredmail server it goes fine but after few minutes and page error again. i keep on trying and trying to isolate if it is permanent but sometimes page error and there's a time it loads but much more time in page error.   in my network / local connection it always load and no problem at all.

Dont know what is the real problem if it is network related problem why after restarting email server it goes fine and why sometimes it load the page.. any suggestion on how to trace it or how can resolve this intermittent page error on my webmail outside my network... thanks in advance and sorry about my english...

Hi,

Did you ask a friend to try to connect to your server when you can't from outside? It's important to know if the problem is located from anywhere trying to connect or not.

Also for how long was your server working properly before that? Did you change anything on it recently?

Also you should always update to latest iredmail version. Yours is 0.9.0 and the latest is 0.9.4.

Does it solve the issue if you:

*) Restart iptables service.
*) Stop fail2ban service (temporarily)

Yes, the problem occurs anywhere outside our network..

Hi zhang, here's what i did. didnt try to restart iptables yet. since it was intermittent page error, i tried to stop fail2ban service during the page error happens.. and the page load immediately after this procedure. i still monitoring it if problem happen again..fail2ban is a process which blocking of ip after so many failure attempt to login?, then why it affects all outside network,  i think in our iredmail server affects all outside network, tried in different isp/ different network accessing webmail.
