Mail problem.

[Dominic]

After Installing DA this morning i noticed that i can't receive mail on all the domains i have made on my server.

The maillog tells me this:

(the email adres sending, is located on an other server)
When i mail internally on the server form [email protected] to [email protected] i receive it with no problem.

The IP adress of my box is 62.212.92.84

Somebody knows a fix for this problem?

It does not actually have a solution, its the reasons why exim *would* fail like that and also commands that will help you trace the problem.

Could you also supply us with the email address you are sending from.

Hello,

Try doing an MX lookup to see if it has a valid MX record:

dig MX domain.com

If you've got the domain located locally, it may override the true dns setting if the domain exists on another server.

Also check /etc/resolv.conf to see what nameserver you're using. Consider adding 127.0.0.1 to the top of the list to use your own copy of named. You can also tell dig where to check what dns to query by using
"dig domain.com @nameserver_domain_or_ip"
