Mail Sent and Received but failure notice delivered

[badbandit83]

Hi,

I am having a problem with my e-mail server,

I have just installed everything succesfully on SuSE9.3 using the relevant docs posted on the net.

I use postfix for e-mails, and set accounts using ISPConfig, I can send and receive e-mails to the correct e-mail but also get over 50+ replies say that the mail is not delivered.

For instance if i send e-mail to adrian@example.com the mail send and receives correctly, but i also get delivery failure notices for web16_adrian@example.com

how do i fix this?

Thanks

I dont' understand why this is happening because the address work but something else isn't

[till]

please append localhost.gotdns.com to your /etc/hosts file in the line with your server IP address.

[badbandit83]

so which ip do I use, my 192.168.* or 127.*

[falko]

It doesn't matter. You can use 127.0.0.1 or the other one.

[badbandit83]

i have tried with both the 192.168.* & 127.* in my host file.

This time i don't even get the e-mail i sent,

on the 127.* address i get a mail-daemon return on the 192.168.* address i get nothing

here is my log again

Before i added the host, i got the e-mail with a load of mail-daemon returns.

What is going on?

You have posted a lot of POP3 related log messages, but we need to see Postfix related messages.
