I have fully functional ISP Config 2 server (ubuntu) on one IP/Domain and second IP/Domains for shared hosting. On second IP(shared) there is Domain (MyDomain.com) that used local mail server (postfix) for years without any problem and with all records set. They want to move mail to GMail/Google. All steps that I know of are in order but mail is not working so I'm missing something. Here is what I have done so far. 1) IPS Manager/Sites/MyDomain Site Co-Domains: Domain: MyDomain.com Options: Mailserver: External Mailserver 2) DNS Manager/MyDomain.com/Records aspmx.l.google.com. alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. aspmx2.googlemail.com. aspmx3.googlemail.com. 3) in named.conf there is: zone "mydomain.com" { type master; file "pri.mydomain.com"; }; 4) in pri.mydomain.com there is: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA not shared IP. mydomain.mydomain.com. ( 2011111201 ; serial, todays date + todays serial # 28800 ; refresh, seconds 7200 ; retry, seconds 604800 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds ; NS IP of server that is not shared IP. ; Inet Address of name server 1 NS nameserver.com. ; Inet Address of name server 2 ; MX 10 aspmx.l.google.com.

7) Found that I need to add to DNS Manager/MyDomain.com/Records CNAME: Hostname: mail Target: ghs.google.com but that did not change much. still getting Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied
Tried to get all back to Local MailServer but still get same error? Deleted google MX records and set all to Internal MailServer. EDIT: Found error in DNS. Now local mail delivery works.
After I got local mail delivery working again here is what I have done to make it work with Google Mail/Apps - Added MX records as needed for mydomain.com - switched to External MailServer for domain and co-domain. Is there something else that needs to be done?
So, with MX records for google added and local MX record with priority 90, changing to local mailserver everything works, and changing to external mailserver on both places does not work? postfix does not relay according to MX records?
even with mail.mydomain.com defined (without DNS and MX records, just for mydomain.com) it does not work. Mail is not relayed to MX records with lower priority (<90) which are google.com urls. pri.mydomain.com looks like MX 90 mail.mydomain.com. MX 40 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 40 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX 20 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX 10 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. mydomain.com. A 111.222.333.444 www A 111.222.333.444 mydomain.com. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all" do I need A record for mail.mydomain.com?
Thanks for reply, but with or without A record for mail.mydomain.com and MX records set, I cannot change MX records for domain as it looks like there are some errors in DNS records at my provider DNS server. No matter what and how I set A, MX and CNAME records there is always only one MX record pointing to mail.mydomain.com with priority 10.
I did and 2 problems found: - Looks like the A records (the GLUE) got from the parent zone check are different than the ones got from your nameservers. You have to make sure your parent server has the same NS records for your zone as you do. - ERROR: One or more of your nameservers did not respond: although the second one is not that much alarming ATM since first NS is working.
Just solved problem with my provider. Actually, MX records and all DNS records (local BIND) on my server were ignored and only settings and records at provider DNS are what matters in my case. No matter what I set and change for main domain (mydomain.com) does not count
