Unable to receive email!

[jeffery]

It make sense! but.. when I try to send a email to those account, e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] with login "a" all the same.

I cannot receive anything! but the created one is working greatly!


I have tried to send a email to all accounts, neither of them can receive a mail!

Any clues????

Hello,

What's your catch-all set to?
Do you have a pop account created for the other email addresses?
What does the /var/log/exim/mainlog say about it.

I have searched for the forum about this issue and eventually this may be the problem of my server name conflicts with my sub domains!


I am able to receive email now but it's quite unstable (sometimes received very fast and sometimes very slow).

Maybe it's not a big problem now!

I also discovered that my domain resolves any subdomains!
that means ping *.mydomain.com all have responses, will this be the cause of the conflict??

Here's somthing to try

Jeffery, I too have been experiencing problems with 3 of my sites catch-all accounts. I am not certain if a mistake was made in a reinstall of DA or if there is a problem with the new version of DA. (I'm not an admin of this box just a user)

My problem is that the domains default account e-mail address used to be functional as a catch-all. After a DA reinstall all of my catch-all e-mails just vanish like they are being sent to :blackhole: even though the catch-all for each account was set to deliver catch-all mail to the default account.

What I did is, add to each domain a POP account specifically for catch-all. I then with DA changed each accounts catch-all to point to these new catch-all POP accounts. Everything has worked great since.

I suggest setting up each sub-domain account with a name that you will not be using for e-mail. Then add a catch-all POP address for each sub-domain and in DA set each sub-domain's catch-all to the new catch-all POP accounts.

[email protected]
catch-all POP = [email protected]

[email protected]
catch-all POP = [email protected]

[email protected]
catch-all POP = [email protected]

E-mail sent to:
[email protected] should go to [email protected]
[email protected] should go to [email protected]
[email protected] should go to [email protected]

I realize the above procedure is usually not necessary, but until I figure out exactly what is wrong this has worked for us.

I hope this works for you too.

Cheers!
