Ok, so i've a brand new server setup and ready to go. Only problem is that when i'm testing new account creations, the welcome mail fails to send...

This is the first part of the message that is generated and returned to me.

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:

[email protected]
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:
host mail.xxxxx.net [xxx.51.150.xx]: 553 5.1.8 <[email protected]>... Domain of sender address [email protected] does not exist

Now, this server is not in production yet, and andraxnetwork.com's dns is presently not pointing to this new box. Is that the only problem here? Or does it run deeper then that?

The server name for this box is www1.andraxnetwork.com...
 
Hello,

Code: 
[root@server]# dig www1.andraxnetwork.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www1.andraxnetwork.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 8942
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www1.andraxnetwork.com.                IN      A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
andraxnetwork.com.      10800   IN      SOA     nsa.andraxnetwork.com. root.andraxnetwork.com. 2004030200 7200 3600 1209600 86400
Which, in short, means it doesn't resolve. Add an A record for www1 to andraxnetwork.com, pointing it to your servers main IP.
