admin@xxxx = Unrouteable address

[solved] admin@xxxx = Unrouteable address

Hi

From some days, I have a problem.

If I send an email to admin@domain_name on my server, I receive :

admin@domain_name
    Unrouteable address

So if another user create a mailbox admin@, I can't write to him from my server.

Strange ?

Check your aliases file if it contains a "admin" alias. If yes, remove it and restart exim.
If not, what do your mailserver logs say?

Hi, I verify in aliases, no admin

In logs, I have :

It appears, mail is sent from [email protected] to admin@DOMAIN_NAME of another user.

Then your domain doesnt have an mx record assigned to it.

Thanks Scsi

But....

[email protected] is used when email is send via php mail() .
This is the hostname.

I never declare it as domain, and I think I can't, because it is forbidden by directadmin.
So how to add a MX for this domain ? Or how to use another sender email when using php mail() ?

Thanks for your help

I think you don't understand what Scsi is trying to tell you.
I presume the domain 3go.fr is yours. This domain does have an mx record (mail.3go.fr).
The test I did via mxtoolbox looks fine.

So it seems to me it's a local problem. Do you have an A record for your hostname added to your DNS?
Is your hostname present in /etc/virtual as a directory like this?

drwxr-xr-x 2 mail      mail   4.0K May 30 15:48 serveur7.3go.fr

If not, create it, just as an empty directory, restart Exim and try again.

I hope this might help.

Have a look at this too:

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

for serveur7.3go.fr, in /var/named/serveur7.3go.fr.db, I have :
mail 14400 IN A 94.23.246.189

I already have a directory
/etc/virtual/serveur7.3go.fr

It was chmod 0755, I put 0711, as you write, and as the other directory are.

I test, and it works. So you have the solution, bad chmod in this directory.
Why ? I don't know, I check another serveur, it is the same, chmod 755 instead of 711.

Thanks everybody for your help and suggestions.

 

[Richard G]

That's strange. In my example it's also 755, I had that particular server wrong too.
Should normally be 711, it's like that on all my other servers.

Glad to hear that it works now.
