Hello,

First, I'd like to say DirectAdmin has been working excellently for me so far! Great product.

I am having trouble with e-mail. I can use webmail to send out e-mail from any domain. I cannot receive e-mail to any domains except the server's hostname. Example:

email[at]hostpup.com returns "550 relay not permitted" but

email[at]shire.hostpup.com (which is the hostname) is fine.

Here is some information from DNSReport... http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=hostpup.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is very frustrating! Thanks in advance,

Nich
 
I believe it works to your hostname because that is the only address that doesn't require mail to be sorted. (Just my theory though)
According to dnsstuff your email server is not responding which is why your not recieving any email. Better make sure exim is working.

(Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the mailserver information.
 
Hi,

Thanks for the reply...all the mailserver entries seem to work now. (I added the A record for the invalid one before, thanks!)


BUT, that wasn't the problem. I still get this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

hostpup[at]hostpup.com

Technical details of failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 10): 550 relay not permitted

Again when I e-mail hostpup[at]shire.hostpup.com (hostname), it goes through. But not without the hostname. More help appreciated :)

Thanks!
 
Make sure the following is in your exim.conf file. If not, add it and restart exim and give it a try.

Code: 
domainlist local_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains

domainlist relay_domains = lsearch;/etc/virtual/domains : \
    localhost

hostlist relay_hosts = net-lsearch;/etc/virtual/pophosts : 127.0.0.1

hostlist auth_relay_hosts = *

Thank you so much! This works...where was I supposed to find this information besides the forum/and you?
I appreciate your help very much!

Kind regards,

DirectAdmin is supposed to configure everything. So either the original config was replaced with the default or the configure process for exim failed during your DA install.

It was already setup like that for me after I installed DA and haven't had to make any changes to it.
