email sends, doesnt receive (domain's default email only)

Hello :)

I tried doing a search before posting this but couldn't find the same error I get.

I have 2 domains (names changed) hosted on my server with DirectAdmin.

user: admin
domain: firstdomain.com
email: [email protected]

user: domain2
domain: domain2.com
email: [email protected]

The emails are the defaults created with the account. [email protected] sends and receives just fine. But [email protected] has mail returned to me with an error:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[email protected]
(ultimately generated from [email protected])

So by looking at that it looks like when people send email to [email protected] it tries to send it to [email protected] for some reason. [email protected] is the default email created with that account. [email protected] does not even exist.

So as a test what I did was create a new email address [email protected] and it will send and receive email fine. It only affects the default-created email, so I have no idea what the problem is. I have not setup any forwarders or catch-alls or anything.

Anyone know what the issue is?

Thank you for your help :)

Hi,

I am suddenly experiencing the same problems after having done a restore from another server.

Oddest thing is that i have done backups and restores from and to other servers before and quite sure i did the same steps again.

If someone has a suggestion, even the silliest or obvious one, go ahead :>
