I am using a 123-reg VPS with Ubuntu. The web sites are working fine as is mySql Database, mail is another issue. I get the following error when sending a email to the new server via outlook: retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period
And through Thunderbird: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local. Please check the message recipient [email protected] and try again.
The setup is thus..
VPS is at 212.xx.xx.xx7 Domain name is mydomain.com
My settings at Joker.com
A Records
Host Target TTL
mydomain.com 212.xx.xx.xx7 7200
www.mydomain.com 212.xx.xx.xx7 8200
mx.mydomian.com 212.xx.xx.xx7 1800
ldap.mydomian.com 212.xx.xx.xx7 1800
mail.mydomian.com 212.xx.xx.xx7 1800
MX-Records Priority
Mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com 10
On VPS I used this step thru guide (http://www.pixelinx.com/2013/09/creating-a-mail-server-on-ubuntu-postfix-courier-ssltls-spamassassin-clamav-amavis/) setting mail.example.com to match above.
dig mx mydomain.com returns
mydomain.com 86400 IN MX 10 mail. mydomain.com
mail. mydomain.com 86400 IN A 212.xx.xx.xx7
authtest kev@ mydomain.com returns
Authenticated: [email protected] (uid 5000, gid 5000)
Etc etc, all looks correct
So, can anyone see where I am going wrong please?
