Mail Server Issue

[syd05]

Hi,

Output for netstat looks fine. It's listening on all interfaces

Which distro are you using? Are you able to receive mail from one local user to other? If yes, then I assume most of the config is almost perfect and the problem exists just for mails from external domains. If no, then something silly has been overlooked since local mails (users on same local server) work with minimum config. Possibly some excerpts from the maillog file would help. You could perhaps attach the log file

Wat's the content of /etc/hosts? The webmin entry shows that it's configured for coldtouch24.co.uk whereas the error you have mentioned points to fmasterstcoldtouch24.co.uk. Seems to be two totally different domains.

the fmastercoldtouch24.co.uk should of been an email addresss of fmaster@coldtouch24.co.uk. I have tried sending mail from one account to another locally via webmin and nothing arrives it was working via the command line though.

i have attached the log file for the mail for you as requested

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 coldtouch24 coldtouch24

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Hi,

One thing your log reflects is
"fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, reject_unauth_destination, reject, defer or defer_if_permit" I assume your using postfix and I havent worked with postfix so .... This might or might not be related to the problem you are facing.

Next, your domain is coldtouch24.co.uk and your MX for coldtouch24.co.uk should map to mail.coldtouch24.co.uk. In your webmin config, when configuring this MX entry your have possibly missed a trailing period (.) The MX should read mail.coldtouch24.co.uk. (notice the trailing period after the word uk) when setting it up in webmin. If your miss out on this dot, the domain is appended to the entry you make for MX. Try that out because a vaildation check of your MX gives

Validation results

[Address has been rejected]

This could ideally be the problem as I see it to be...

have you googled the error?

can you post the specific part of main.cf where you have smtpd_recipient_restrictions defined.
