Hi,
I am running CentOS5, DirectAdmin 1.34.0 and Exim 4.69.
The issue I am having is that on my domain, danielcproductions.net I cannot send to users who have email accounts on that domain.
As an example only, user x has an account, [email protected]
User x can send to any domain outside Danielcproductions.net, but when the outside domain person sends a reply back to user x's email, user x does not get that reply.
I checked the logs and nothing seems out of place.
As a test, I have a user account, [email protected]
I sent from my [email protected] account, to my [email protected] account. [email protected] never got the mail, and I even left out a letter when testing again of the domain, and [email protected] didn't get a bounced message back stating delivery failure.
[email protected] was able to, however, send to an address at gmail.com, and the person using gmail got the mail.
What could be the matter? At this point this has got me stumpt because I swore that it was working beforehand.
 
Have you checked the directadmin mail queue incase its sitting in there as frozen?
 
Nothing is in the cue. That's the first thing I checked.
The logs say that all the messages are with the status of completed, no bounced messages, etc.
 
Just an update to this issue. It appears to be server wide that this issue is happening and not just my domain.
What's strange though is that if a user gets the domain part of the email address right, but not the actual address right, the server sends a bounced message to the sending address telling them that the wrong email address they put doesn't exist on my server, so therefore the sender gets a bounced message back.
I checked /etc/virtual for any mishaps, the only thing I found wrong was there was an old domain of my server which no longer existed, I removed that folder as well as the entry from /etc/virtual/domains and from /etc/hosts.
The new domain lightning.danielcproductions.net does resolve and has an MX record. Lightning being my server name.
What else should I check? As I mentioned before, I checked the Exim logs, nothing is wrong there. I checked the mail cue, nothing is in the cue.
Just for safe measures, I completely removed and reinstalled Exim, as well as deleted and recreated my primary domain without any luck.
I looked under /var/spool/virtual/danielcproductions.net, in the file topdog, and varified that there was mail coming through, but when I use webmail or Windows Mail because I am on Windows Vista, I do not receive it, yet an entry for the mail message ID, subject, and message content, appear in /var/spool/virtual/danielcproductions.net/topdog.

Care to share? Its hard to help when we cannot see the log.

Also are you using Dovecot or not?
 
Hello,

I had the same issue . I managed to work around this with the same fix. First check what are you using . Then build the exim conf and it should fix it.
