Hi,

I'm new to directadmin (ex CPanel/whm user). but for some reason i'm getting 550 errors (550 no such recipient here & 550 Verification failed for...) when creating mailforwarders.
I control my DNS via my hosting provider not via DirectAdmin.
I found a lot of topics about 550 errors and that i would have to build exim.conf but is that something i can do via the gui of cumstombuild?

If found these settings in custombuild:

They're both set to no setting these to yes does not change anything.
Is there a guide to setup email on directadmin somewhere?

Hope someone can help,
Thanks in advance
 
You must build exim if you want to use the mail server on the DA server, if you use google or similar then its a different story
 
Hi Active8,
Thanks for your reply.
I build Exim via custombuild...

But the error remains
Does that mean i must build it via ssh?
 
When i create a mailbox the email is delivered but as soon as i create a forwarder i get the 550 errors...
 
If you build this by CS it should be sufficient, you have likely DNS errors, maybe you want to share your domain name so we can check ?
