Mail problems

[chrisesler]

I just installed the ubuntu hoary how-to steps, and everythign seemed to go well. my domain is dibolmi.com.

However, there seems to be a small email error. I can send out emails fine from the webmail interface.

But any emails I send back to the server do not get received. I've looked at the log, and there is nothing there. Its as if the mail doesn't even get to the server.

I checked out the dnsreport.com and for some reason it states that there is no MX records, when I know I added them.

Any help here would be appreciated.

I just did a smtp test and here is the response I got...any ideas?

OK, connected to dibolmi.com...
< 220 server1.dibolmi.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
> HELO edit.dnsvr.com
< 250 server1.dibolmi.com
> MAIL FROM:<myemail@gmail.com>
< 250 Ok
> RCPT TO:<web1_info@dibolmi.com>
< 554 <web1_info@dibolmi.com>: Relay access denied

any clues to this?

Can you check if dibolmi.com is in /etc/postfix/local-host-names?

heres the content of the file you asked about...

No, dibolmi.com is not in there. You created a web site for www.dibolmi.com in ISPConfig, right? Go to the Co-Domains tab and create the Co-Domain dibolmi.com.

I tried an nmap on port 53 for my nameserver and it stated it was closed. Why would that be? any help here would be grateful

Can you post the output of

netstat -tap

? And maybe also of

iptables -L

?

Just a question :
why when we add a website, the localhostname file contains only www.domain.com instead of domain.com ?

Error when creating a new site OR ISPconfig mistake ?

[till]

When you create a new website, ispconfig adds automatically a co-domain without www. If you add a co-domain yourself with host www, you will have to add a second co-domain with an empty host.

When you create a web site www.domain.com, the Co-Domain domain.com is created automatically, and both www.domain.com and domain.com are added to /etc/postfix/local-host-names so that you can receive emails for <user>@www.domain.com and <user>@domain.com.
