Hi, According to Code: 13 Populate The Database And Test If you want to make entries in the other two tables, that would look like this: in your Howto, I already did; Code: INSERT INTO `transport` (`domain`, `transport`) VALUES ('mydomain.com', 'smtp:mail.mydomain.com'); creating the record. mysql> SELECT * from transport; Code: +-------------+-----------------------+ | domain | transport | +-------------+-----------------------+ | mydomain.com | smtp:mail.mydomain.com | +-------------+-----------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) B.R. satimis
On domain register website Code: Host Points to @ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip) ser01 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip) CNAME (Alias) Host Points to e ser01.mydomain.com email ser01.mydomain.com imap imap.secureserver.net pop ser01.mydomain.com smtp ser01.mydomain.com webmail ser01.mydomain.com www @ MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority Host Points 30 @ mailstore1.secureserver.net 20 @ smtp.secureserver.net 10 @ ser01.mydomain.com Whether change Code: email ser01.mydomain.com to Code: email mail.mydomain.com OR Code: smtp ser01.mydomain.com to Code: smtp mail.mydomain.com ? Thanks Edit: Performed following step on Register's website Under A(Host) --> Quick Add Host - mail.mydomain.com Points to - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip) -> Save Zone File After saving "mail.mydomain.com" becomes "mail" (mydomain.com hidden) Now under "A(Host)" Host Points to Code: @ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip) mail xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip) ser01 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fixed ip) I do hope that I understand your advice correctly A record = A(Host) on my Register's website. If I'm wrong please correct me. Thanks. Now I'm waiting the change to propagate. B.R. satimis
Still no hope. Mail came but disconnected from unknown (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) (fixed IP).
