Does this mean that the e-mail was not sent? Apr 2 01:57:49 server postfix/smtp[21399]: 2D3A8490041: to=<EDITED ADDRESS>, relay=my.smtp.address[xx.xx.xx.xx], delay=1918, status=deferred (host my.smtp.address[xx.xx.xx.xx] said: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [email protected] does not resolve (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) Apr 2 01:57:49 server postfix/smtp[21403]: C7D9949003E: to=<EDITED ADDRESS>, relay=my.smtp.address[xx.xx.xx.xx], delay=2211, status=deferred (host my.smtp.address[xx.xx.xx.xx] said: 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address [email protected] does not resolve (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) If so, what can I fix?
Yes, the emails are not send. Please make sure that the domain name server.vasceria.com does exist (resolve) in DNS.

Alright. I did that and it's been about 12 hours and the MX record still isn't there. server.vasceria.com is my name server. The domain processing the e-mails is www.plastikracing.net. The thing it, sometimes it sends messages and sometimes it doesn't.

And in addition to that, I noticed this: Code: Apr 4 04:05:33 server sendmail[24886]: l3485W8Y024886: from=root, size=5553, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[email protected]>, relay=root@localhost How do I get it to mail that to admin@localhost instead of root@localhost?

No, my domains are plastikracing.net, plastikhosting.net, bensdrumming.com, and allash.com. The nameservers for those domains are server.vasceria.com and server1.vasceria.com. And that's odd.

I get the same result now, too. It can take up to 72 hours until DNS changes get propagated, so that can be the reason for my first result. Are you still having DNS problems now?
Yeh, it looks like all is good. I can't find any errors on my logs. Now on to the other question: the LogWatch e-mails and other error messages get sent to root@localhost. Instead of having to KVM to the server and check my root mail using the mail function, is there anyway to make it so the stuff gets e-mailed to admin@localhost instead? That way, I can check that mailbox using Thunderbird and get my e-mails normally since you can't access the root mailbox from a different system (I can't at least).
You could set up an alias for root in /etc/aliases: Code: root: admin Run Code: newaliases /etc/init.d/postfix restart afterwards.
Well, it looks like that fixed it. I got a returned message saying that one of the forum user's e-mail address was incorrect. Though, the mail seemed to be delayed a bit. I had someone on the forum IM me over AOL telling me he received his mail message about 30 minutes after he received his PM.
Now I've ran into this problem. For the longest time my server was the DMZ host. I think that's where my problem of having people use my as a relay caught up to me. Since then I disabled that and just used UPnP Forwarding on my router. I forwarded port 21, 80, 53, and 443 to 192.168.1.130 (my server). Ever since I did that, I haven't been able to receive any of my mail from my server. I thought it was odd that 2 days went by and I didn't get any e-mail, but as soon as I put my server back as the DMZ host, I was able to receive my e-mail. Why is this?
You did not forward the SMTP port (25), thats why you did not receive any mail. Putting the server behind the firewall will not help to stop spammers if you stillw ant to receive emails. 1) Check if your server is really a open relay: http://www.abuse.net/relay.html 2) If it is a open relay, compare your postfix setup with the setup described in the perfect setup guides.
I'm still getting these errors. Here is the e-mail I'm getting: Code: This is the Postfix program at host server.vasceria.com. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
