| Posted by BoggeRs, 09-05-2008, 10:56 AM | | I have had one server running for the longest time on domain1.com for example running cpanel, recently I ordered another server that is running directadmin.
After securing the directadmin - BFD and so on - sends emails - but its not sending any because they get stuck in Mail Queue Administration within directadmin.
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
the hostname is server2.domain1.com, it seems like it doesnt want to send the email.
I have added my domain1.com to the dns administration - and it has a mail.domain1.com to the ip address on server1 and mx entry (only) to the mail directory.
I dont know why its not sending the email and it keeps coming back. If anyone is able to help please let me know or some tutorials or something.
Thanks

mail server shouldn't be on the server2 it should go out to the internet and figure out what mail.domain1.com is.... if anyone is able to help it would be much appreciated.

Does server2.domain1.com exist in DNS?

| Posted by BoggeRs, 09-10-2008, 08:54 AM | | Its not supposed to send the email to server2 - its supposed to send it to the main email server mail.domain1.com where my www.domain1.com exists (server1).
|
| Posted by lamerfreak, 09-10-2008, 09:06 AM | | Right. But is @server2.domain1.com actually in DNS? One of the arguments seems to be bogs@server2.domain1.com, and it's complaining about an unroutable address - so one side is thinking it doesn't, just as a guess.
|
| Posted by BoggeRs, 09-10-2008, 09:13 AM | | but yes server2.domain1.com does indeed resolve to the ip address of the second server
Should I not have any domain added tot he second server? thinks domain1.com is on its server so it sends for local delivery instead of actual internet

| Posted by lamerfreak, 09-10-2008, 09:52 AM | | If it's not going to be handling mail for the domain, then no, it shouldn't be in the local names and you should take it out.

| Posted by BoggeRs, 09-10-2008, 02:30 PM | | i removed the domain and still wont send emails do i have to change something in the exim config?
