Dear community,

I have the following problem.

My email got blocked from DA. Because rbxls01.xslines.nl wasnt a retrievable email domain.

So I wanted to change the hostname to : xslines.nl .

Email doenst get blocked anymore from DA. But now i have this problem. Incoming email on the USERS email (without the domain add-on) are returend error.

My gues is that the user email is still at rbxsl01.xslines.nl instead of the new one.

I have tried to find the alliasses file but was unable to find such thing. Who can help me out ?

Greetings and HNY
 
While I don't know if this is the reason for your problems or not, but unless you own the .nl toplevel domain (which I doubt),

xslines.nl

is not a valid hostname. A hostname needs a hostname, a dot, and a domain name.

So presuming your domain name is xslines.nl, then you'd need something similar to:

host.xslines.nl

as your hostname.

And changing it from the command line isn't enough; you have to change it through the DA control panel.

DA doesn't have a default aliases file for the hostname; I believe I've posted previously on how/where to create one.

Well... is there a way to get rbxsl01.xslines.nl recognized or can i make some change that outgoing mail from DA (when i'm creating new user/website) is from @xslines.nl instead of @rbxsl01.xslines.nl .

Hope you can help me out. Because this problem is a bug in my way of working :)
 
Sure; just create an A entry for rbxsl01 in the xslines.nl zone file, pointing back to your main server IP#.

I have a A record in my DNS.

Here's a copy of my maillog.

If i read this.. I think the retriever mailserver doenst accept subdomains. So if just could get my outgoing mail address as [email protected] instead of [email protected] everything would be great :)

My guess is that home.nl won't accept email from an address to which it can't send email.

That's reasonable.

And rbxsl01.xslines.nl doesn't have an MX record.

If home.nl isn't configured to deliver mail using A records when MX records don't exist, then it would exhibit this behavior.

You need to create an MX record for rbxsl01.xslines.nl, and you can't do that through the DA web-based interface unless you create a domain for it (and you can't create a domain for your hostname; it's a limitation of DA), so you'll have to create the MX line manually in your xslines.nl zone file.

Then everything should work.

Is it posible to change the sender mail adres. It make no sens to send an e-mail from [email protected]. I thing it's better to send the mail out using [email protected]. But how to change this?
