    Hi, I have tried to search the forum but didn't find anything near this:

    I have 3 email domains on this server and I need to map some alias:

    abc.com
    xpto.com
    dcba@com

    I tried doing with ALIAS and FORWARD options.

    Case:
    [email protected] (alias) needs to go to [email protected] (this exists on the server and is receiving mail)

    Sent an email from my gmail account and got this back from the mailer deamon:

    ....
    <[email protected]>: user unknown

    Final-Recipient: rfc822; [email protected]
    Original-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
    Action: failed
    Status: 5.1.1
    Diagnostic-Code: x-unix; user unknown
    .....

    What have i done wrong?
    I do have the Falko manual (3.0.3.3), but the system is not doing what supposes to do ...

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Does the MX record for xpto.com point to the correct server?

    Hi Falko,

    And yes it does, but it is local to the ISPConfig server.

    I do receive mail for the account [email protected].

    Hi Falko,

    For security those dns names aren't real.

    I have done a dig wich i included on my post but changed the names.
