VPS Mail server help?
Hi,
Please forgive me for my lack on knowledge with linux etc. I have been using Plesk on a VPS which simplifies my server admin skills. Over the past few months I have been having some email issues with my VPS. I think this may be a DNS / MX record issue because I made some MX record changes a few months ago however this could be coincidence and I would be grateful for some guidance. My VPS is hosted with 1&1 and on I host 2 domains on on this server: FirstStopDigital.com (for the past year) pb-net.co.uk (just added a few months ago). My domain pb-net.co.uk was hosted by another firm and I recently moved it across to my VPS. I use google mail servers for hosting my email which on my old host I modifed my DNS so that my mail would be directed to the gmail servers and all was fine. pb-net.co.uk is now held with 123-reg.com and I set the DNS to point to my server (firststopdigital.com). On my server under my pb-net.co.uk domain I created the MX records as suggested by google. Again, everything is good and works fine. However, mail being sent from my firststopdigital.com domain has stopped / or a received a rejection email. I use the internal mail() php function to send mail on both my pb-net.co.uk and firststopdigital.com domains. It works fine on the pb-net.co.uk domain but not on the other! I have re-started my qmail service and no difference. This is the rejection email I get when I send a message: =========================================== Hi. This is the qmail-send program at s15236419.onlinehome-server.info. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <support@firststopdigital.com>: Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6) =========================================== I read that adding my hostname to /var/qmail/control/locals file and the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts may help. /var/qmail/control/locals already contained localhost. /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts was empty so into both I added firststopdigital.com I tried again and this time a new rejection email was returned to me: =========================================== Hi. This is the qmail-send program at s15236419.onlinehome-server.info. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <support@firststopdigital.com>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) =========================================== I have run out of ideas now! Can someone help me where to look or what to do next? Thank you in advanced. Paul |
