Unroutable address when sending mail to subdomain

[edvanleeuwen]

I have set up a domain called covs.nl and added another (full) domain called west1.covs.nl. In the latter I created a forward address.

Whenever I send mail from an e-mail account @covs.nl to @west1.covs.nl the mail is forwarded properly. However, when sending mail from another address, the mail bounces with the error

Unroutable address

.

I did a

dig west1.covs.nl mx +trace

and the information seems okay.

Any hints or tips how to determine what is wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I see no mx record on west1.covs.nl

That's odd.

IN DNS management for that domain, I have

ftp	A	178.21.117.176	
localhost	A	127.0.0.1	
mail	A	178.21.117.176	
pop	A	178.21.117.176	
smtp	A	178.21.117.176	
west1.covs.nl.	A	178.21.117.176	
www	A	178.21.117.176	
west1.covs.nl.	NS	ns1.directvps.nl.	
west1.covs.nl.	NS	ns2.directvps.nl.	
west1.covs.nl.	MX	10 mail	
west1.covs.nl.	TXT	"v=spf1 a mx ip4:178.21.117.176 ~all"	
localhost	AAAA	::1

What have I done wrong?

I think I have found out what I did wrong.

The domain name is registered with another provider. There, I only have entered the 'top' domain, covs.nl.

The only problem I face now is that I cannot enter the domain name without the ending dot, because then the domain is not visible any more. E.g.:

covs.nl 300 A 178.21.117.176 -- this works

covs.nl. 300 A 178.21.117.176 -- this does not

If I am correct this causes that the subdomain will not be found in DA.

Ok, had a talk with Strategaweb support and they have advised me to put all the entries in their panel. This works for me.
