Default email address behaviour

[TheSource85]

A few weeks ago I decided to merge all my domains onto a new server (CentOS with directadmin).

There are 10 domains and I have an issue with the default mail addresses created by directadmin during the creation of a new user.

The server is officially registered under a main domain (let's call it maindomain.com ).
When I send an email to the default email address -> no issues.

With other sites there is this issue: When I send an email to the default address for site 1 (lets call it [email protected] ) , I get an undeliverable mail message coming from [email protected]

This is with all the users I've created..

Does anyone recognize this and can someone help me with a solution to it?

Thanks

Hello,

It's highly recommended that you use hostname similar to server.maindomain.com or anything-else-here.maindomain.com.

Thanks, but I'm not sure how this is going to help.. As suggested, the servername or the 'maindomain' account is already configured and for my 'domain1' I already have a DNS.

When I log on to the user level of 'domain1', I can see all pop boxes, including the default (which you can log on to using the directadmin login).
When I go to the terminal and search for all actual mailboxes, all the mailboxes are listed, except for the default one..

It's very confusing.

In case if you missed my link:

You cannot use just "domain.com" as the hostname, as this will conflict with the email in your actual domain.com hosting account (with regards to how system accounts get their emails).
