Email issues DA, php mail script not working and sending emails to some domains not

[rwijtten]

Dear all,

A week ago I started to use DA instead of Plesk on my Dedicated server and found a couple of issues, finally they are solved but one.

When i try to send email to some domains they return immediately back to my mail account. I have forwarded all the dns records properly and set up the mail server in DA correct. When i send to gmail, yahoo etc the email go trough but when i try to send to another email address it blocks in the server. What could be the issue here?

I have tried the instructions in this tread: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=51 and many other "solutions" but none works. On the forum i could not find anything eighter.

Can somebody please help me with this?

To avoid suspension, please do not make multiple posts. When your post doesn't show up it's because there's content in it that's tripping our spam filters, which are very aggressive for new users. Eventually a moderator will see your post and approve it. But if the moderator has lots of work to do clearing up duplicate posts he or she may be loathe to spend additional time helping you.

Thanks for your consideration.

That said...

My eyes tend to see double when I try to read email logs, so I generally don't do it when I see them in forum posts.

Did you get this resolved? If so, please let us know.

I noticed this:

2013-11-20 17:23:57 1VjBVN-00069j-MY <= <> R=1VjBVN-00069i-Ku U=mail P=local S=1410 T="Mail failure - no recipient addresses" from <> for [email protected]

That means there's no address hosted on the server to which you're trying to send the mail.

The first step is to know if the address is supposed to be hosted on your server. If it is, then check to see that it really is, and that the domain name is listed in the /etc/virtual/domains file, and that the email address exists on the server. If it's not, then make sure you're pointing to the correct server hosting the domain (check the mx return from the command line, check manual delivery and see what you get, and that the domain is NOT listed in the /etc/virtual/domains file.

Did you completely rebuild your sever, or try installing DirectAdmin on top of a working server, and try to use it for hosting sites and mail for domains already installed on the server? If the latter, then you may have completely broken your installation and may need to start over.
