I seem to have this error and so have my clients. It happens where someone has the same username as the domain for an e-mail, such as [email protected]. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank You in advance.

Make sure the server's hostname isn't onsalehost.com or www.onsalehost.com. It should be unique, something like server.onsalehost.com.
 
Your hostname appears to be Server1.Evwhost.com. Make sure you've got working DNS for Server1.Evwhost.com.

I think DA automatically adds hostname to /etc/hosts in which case setting DNS entry shouldn't be necessary. Isn't that correct?
 
It's been many years (20 or more) since all the hosts files in the world contained the names and numbers of all the hosts in the world.

You need the hostname in DNS.

I somehow thought it was rejected locally, probably got confused with some other thread.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify this and sorry you had a bad day :)
 
If you get up from your own bed in the morning, and go back to bed in your own bed in the evening... then it's been a good day :) .
