    I hope to keep the two issues clear i.e the dns errors for one domain and the failure to access webmail using domain.tld/webmail

    Now for the dns error here is what i get from dig where xxxxx.com is the domain with dns error --- For this domain i followed the same steps to setup some other domains on the same host and which dont have this errors and the can both send and recieve email both internal and external. Trying to send an email to a mailbox for this domain for example [email protected] using gmail results in the following error --- DNS Error: 29756457 DNS type 'mx' lookup of xxxxxxx.com responded with code SERVFAIL

    $ dig @178.xxx.xxx.169 any xxxxxxxx.com

    DNS: Take a look into the zone file directory (usually that's /etc/bind/ ) and check if the zone file of the affected zone is saved with .err file ending.
    webmail: Normally, one Alias should be enough, and I guess the second one would override the first one. Which Linux Distribution and version do you use?

    Nope... the file saved is pri.domain.tld
