I've just moved to a vps running DirectAdmin; I've added a few domains and they all work fine apart from receiving mail.

Whenever I send mail to one of my domain names

e.g.

jamie-at-exposedrecordings.co.uk

I get the following bounce message:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

jamie[-at-]exposedrecordings.co.uk

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550-Verification failed for <[email protected]>
550-unrouteable mail domain "gmail.com"
550 Sender verify failed


Any idea what is causing this?

I've checked my /etc/resolv.conf and DNS is configured fine.
 
From your server do:

dig gmail.com mx

and see if you get anything.

Then do

dig -x xx.yy.zz.aaa

where xx.yy.zz.aaa should be replaced by each of the mx records you get back in return.

Let us know what you get.
