I am setting up a Virtualmin server and am having issues with the signup email. I can’t get it to send. I can’t seem to figure it out. I have tried doing mail relaying (thinking that may help, I possibly may have something msconfigured.)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
One the other hand if anyone know a way to administrate an IceCast streaming server using Webmin/Virtualmin that would be much appreciated as well. I have googled endlessly (apprx. 4-5 hrs.).
My suggestion would be to check the mail logs, in either /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log, and make sure you see it attempting to send the message.
If it is, is there an error message of some sort that you see there?
And sorry, I’ve never setup an icecast streaming server before

I am now sure if it is in there or somewhere else but I seem to be missing something.
Well, I’m unfortunately not really familiar with Sendmail… when the Virtualmin installer runs (the install.sh script), it would normally setup Postfix as the default mail server.
If you’re having problems, I’d suggest sticking with the default of Postfix, as you’d be less likely to have problems… and when problems do occur, we’d be better able to lend a hand
Virtualmin is capable of working with Sendmail as the mail server, it just means that, rather than having all the mail server settings configured for you, that you need to manually get things working.
You’re able to perform a manual install, but when doing that, you have to configure everything that the installer otherwise would have setup
We highly recommend performing your installation on a Grade A supported Operating System… anything else will require a decent amount of setup work, and a lot of technical expertise.
If you’d like to stick with Ubuntu 10.10, that can work though. The manual setup instructions are available here:
You’ll want to review all of that – however, in particular for email, take a look at the Postfix, procmail, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and saslauthd sections.
