The Postfix program <[email protected]> (expanded from <[email protected]>): Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=server1.webpapagedirect.co.za type=AAAA: Host not found ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is this a possible DNS error or have I done something else wrong, please help. this is for all my domains
A Code: dig webpapagedirect.co.za shows that ns0.coza.net.za is the authoritative nameserver for your domain. That's where you must create the DNS records.
More problems Have informed my the nameserver for webpagedirect.co.za still waiting for them to get back to me. No for domain ehs.org.za I get the following error: ****************************************************** This is the Postfix program at host server1.webpapagedirect.co.za.

Put ehs.org.za at the end of /etc/postfix/local-host-names (where it says that you can make changes there) and restart Postfix. Can you explain this in more detail?
no error message Now I'mstill not receiving on ehs.org.za and when sending from external no longer getting an error message. nothing comes back on the domain zululand-adventures.com keeps asking for username and password, but when I change my incoming server from pop3.zululand-adventures.com to pop3.webpagedirect.co.za and keep username for zululand adventures domain I can log into the server ,but don't receive any mail.
Which POP3 server do you use? Please post the output of Code: netstat -tap Is Maildir enabled or disabled under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email (I guess you have installed ISPConfig)? That's strange because all 3 FQDNs (zululand-adventures.com, pop3.zululand-adventures.com and pop3.webpagedirect.co.za) point to the same IP address. Do you see anything in the mail log about this?

What does your mydestination line look like in /etc/postfix/main.cf? It should be Code: mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names You're using Courier as POP3 server which means you must enable Maildir in ISPConfig (if you use ISPConfig).
no change still same errors mydestination line is as you said it should be when sending fro domain not hosted on the server I get a message stating mail loops back to myself for ehs.org.za domain Am I correct in assuming that for each domain I set up the server automatically creates pop3.domain.lll and smtp.domain.lll or do you still have to create these in the co-domains area Yes I am using ISP config and maildir is ticked on Thanks for having the patience to help me through this
Sorry was a bit hasty when sending from domain not hosted on my server *@ehs.org.za I get the following <[email protected]>: 196.33.247.203 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table Giving up on 196.33.247.203. but when I look in my virtusertable the address wasn't there so I added it and tried again still same error.
No, you have to create these subdomains on the Co-Domains tab (and of course, you must create DNS records for these subdomains). Did you create the email address [email protected] in ISPConfig? If you want to add the email address manually instead of with ISPConfig, then you must run Code: postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable after you've added the email address to /etc/postfix/virtusertable and then restart Postfix.
Think I've got it Okay 1: Deleted all users all in all domains within ISPConfig 2: vi /etc/postfix/virtusertable 3: Removed all the Junk that I obviously added with all trying 4: did the same with /etc/postfix/local-host-names 5: Recreated Domains 6: Recreated Users 7: Looked at files "/etc/postfix/virtusertable" & "/""/local-host- names" They looked more like the ones posted online. Tried sending to external: Success Tried sending from external domain to local domains: All now give same error: This is the Postfix program at host server1.webpapagedirect.co.za. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

The Postfix program <[email protected]> (expanded from <[email protected]>): Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=server1.webpapagedirect.co.za type=AAAA: Host not found ********************************************************** This comes back to what you pointed out. But I'm sorry to say there that I'm lost with their application form.Would it be possible to have a look?(http://co.za/coza_reg.txt) cause their not answering e-mail and not returning calls. Will try phone tomorrow, but tomorrow public holiday.
Have you created an A-Record server1.webpapagedirect.co.za in the DNS-Server for webpapagedirect.co.za? Otherwise you can try to add it to the hosts file on your server.
where would the "hosts" file be? I registerred webpapagedirect.co.za at zoneedit so not to sure why I have to tel coza that they have to add server1.webpapagedirect.co.za to the DNS and I cant get throught to them. Their form is confusing and they're not the most helpfull.
MX records updated problem still here Okay managed to solve the MX problem IP-Address A record updated Host file edited as per Till suggestion I still get same errors any suggetions??
