USernames with a Number

[kassie]

Hi Guys,

I upgraded to 2.2.15 so i can use usernames that start with a number.

I have 2 domains for 1 client.
firstseal.co.za & 1stseal.co.za

All the mail sent to 1stseal.co.za must get forwarded to firstseal.co.za.

When the mail get to my server it does this, i copied out the mail.log
Aug 8 06:15:40 superman postfix/smtp[23577]: connect to mail.1stseal.co.za[196.36.108.11]: Connection timed out (port 25)
Aug 8 06:15:40 superman postfix/smtp[23577]: 4BC65F201CF: to=<nic@1stseal.co.za>, relay=none, delay=32, delays=1.2/0.01/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail.1stseal.co.za[196.36.108.11]: Connection timed out)

I don't get a mail back saying there was an error, nor does the mail go through??

I also cannot log in to the 1stseal accounts via webmail....
Any suggestions.

This has nothing to do with usernames. It just means that the server mail.1stseal.co.za is not reachable or no mail server is started on the system.

Hi Till,

I have just over 50 domains on that server. all the rest works. It's only that one domain...

I don't know why??

Here is a little more than just the error to show the server is working.

Any news??

Is 196.36.108.11 your server's IP address? Please make sure that the MX record for 1stseal.co.za points to the same server as all your other domains.

Hi Falko,

I checked that first. The mail is coming there, but just times out...
