Hi folks, Problem half solved. Now I can send mails to yahoo.com after running; $ sudo touch /etc/postfix/virtusertable $ sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable $ sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart But still can't receive mail. Mails sent on yahoo.com to users on this server returned immediately saying users NOT found.. $ cat /etc/postfix/virtusertable No printout.

The mails go to smtp.secureserver.net because it has the highest priority, and I guess that server doesn't know your users. Change the MX record so that only ubuntu.satimis.com is left as your MX.
On MX (Mail Exchange):- Delete; smtp.secureserver.net mailstore1.secureserver.net leaving only; ubuntu.satimis.com Sent one mail to 4 users; satimis fmaster administrator newuser The mail has not been returned. But it never arrived. satimis fmaster administrator All have Maildir directory. Only newuser, a new user, is without Maildir. The trick is here. Maildir will be automatically created if the 1st new mail arrives. Now where has the mail gone ??? Edit: Mail returned Code: Subject: failure notice Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.

Solved Hi Maximus_DDT, I solved my problem only playing around on the Registrar's Total DNS Control Panel. Please recheck yours on your registrar's website satimis
still no solved The domain was renew. I chek it twice. This is the main.cf file on my server. The registered domain is on www.nic.com.mx. When I installed the mail server, the main domain is mail.cf.com.mx. Actually, the other alias to genes.com.mx are functional, then when I used [B][email protected][/B] send me the error, but when I used [B][email protected][/B] IT WORKS!! Its a problem with the server or with my internet provider?? :S
Strange.

Apologize... I'm very sorry.... I delay so much to comment my situation with the problem. I really appreciate all the comments and "tips", and its very embarrassing to me, but the solution was very dramatic, because my accountant was the responsible of this situation. The DNS was paid on time, but the person on charge to make the payment delayed several days. All the mails are functionally. The mail server its working fine. I was very mad with that person, and feel so anger. thanks a lot for the help. I know that in this place I can learn more about linux affairs. Thanks Again!!
