I am running X-Cart (shopping cart software) on linux/ubuntu and am having problems with emails being sent out. I believe that some emails are being sent out, but it seems to be having problems sending emails to my domains. My actual mail server that I use for the company is hosted on another server, but the domain (______.coker.com) is hosted on the linux box. When my shopping cart program tries to send emails to [email protected] it seems to be getting errors. Hope this makes sence.

Anyone? I just found out this is being sent to every customer. Every order placed sends an order notification to [email protected], with the "from" email address being the customer's. Since email can not be delivered to [email protected] the customer is being sent this: Code: This is the Postfix program at host cokerlinux1. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.

Is 66.18.46.195 your server's IP address? Do you have a firewall that blocks port 25? What's the output of Code: iptables -L ?
Code: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Okay, there is the output for you, but I think I have narrowed down the problem some. I double checked the 66.18.46.195...this is not the server's IP address, but I thought this was our mail server IP. It is actually another web hosting box we have here for coker.com. The actual IP for the mail server is 192.168.0.201. The MX record is set up correctly with our domain host, and we get mail just fine. I think that it has something to do with either subdomains of coker.com being hosted by the linux box postfix is running on, or it is because the linux box is within our local network along with several other servers. Both of those may not even be close, but I'm not sure what else it could be! So, to sum it up, when post fix sends mail to outside email hosts (not coker.com) it sends just fine and finds the correct MX record. When it tries to send to coker.com it is sending it to the web host NOT the mail host as set up in with our domain host. EDIT: Also, after going through the forums again, just wanted to let you know that each domain has been set to external mailserver, and the co-domain "coker.com" has been set to external mailserver as well.
And what's the mail server's public IP address (this is the public IP address of your router)? Did you forward port 25 from your router to your server?
66.18.46.196 is the public IP. Yes, it is forwarding properly. The mail server is getting mail just fine from other sources.
I have not set up DNS through BIND on this server...is that needed? My domains names are set up with network solutions.
Sorry, when it tries to send the mail out, it tries to send it to coker.com dns record which is 66.18.46.195. For some reason it is not seeing the MX record which is 66.18.46.196 (mail.coker.com). We do get email from other sources just fine, but for some reason our box isn't looking at the MX record but instead trying to communicate with 66.18.46.195 which is not a mail server and therefor giving the connection error. I'm really at wits end here...I've searched these forums and the internet for days now and can not find this problem any where.
