Run

and see if you get an Answer Section.

thats for my local server....for the domain i am trying to send mail to which is hosted on this server, the dig a result is:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.mattsdomain.com.au. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.mattsdomain.com.au. 38146 IN A 144.135.130.10

so it resolves to a public ip.....when queried from my server...am I giving you the right info??

here is the mx result for mattsdomain.com.au......

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> mx mattsdomain.com.au

I can conclude so far that obtaining dns for a sever via dhcp settings causes problems...
did you know what this domain child nameserver is??

thanks!!

This means when you send an email to mattsdomain.com.au it is sent to mx1.netserver.com.au. I don't think mx1.netserver.com.au is your server!?

[matto1376]

you guys must get a good laugh out of some of these fiascos!!

thats right, that mx1.netserver.com.au is the address of the isp that used to host mattsdomain before I decided to rig up my own linux box at home....they redelegated dns to point to my adsl router, but I take it they also have to change the MX records.....??
I'll investigate and post what happens!

thanks!
matt

[matto1376]

i just spoke to the isp and they said the mx records had not been changed, just the ip address the domain was pointing to.
so hopefully once that propagtes things will be ok.
then i will test the php script again.

[matto1376]

an aside...
all my services except mysql now report as offline in ispconfig
but they still work....?

ISPConfig monitors your services on 127.0.0.1. If you have configured your services to run on another IP address than 127.0.0.1, ISPConfig will show them as offline even if they are working...

apatula.apatula doesn't exist in DNS. So either you set up your own DNS server in your local network and create apatula.apatula on it and then enter this name server in /etc/resolv.conf, or you enter apatula.apatula in /etc/hosts.

[matto1376]

ok so finally it works!!
it just needed an A record on my server of the right address. crazy.
so now onto the php formemail script. i will put that in a seperate thread i think!

thanks for your help falko, ur a patient man.
