Unable to use default email address

jbb · Feb 26, 2005

I've seen reference to this problem but no clear solution.

I've created a new domain bwp.net with user bwp

Default email is [email protected]

I can send email from this account but I can't recieve any.

If I setup a forward, it will forward the message otherwise it just bounces.

Every default account behaves this way.

Email header from an test message sent from this account,

Code:

Message-ID: <[email protected]>

This was fixed with help from DA support.

My mistakes were as follows,

I set the hostname in exim.conf to somthing other then what I had set in DA.

If your default domain is example.com and you want to use [email protected] as an email addres, you have to change the hostname in DA to www.example.com or anyhostname.example.com . Just make sure you have an A record for it in your DNS and it resolves.

If in trouble continues, re-read http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=16
