I started a new thread on this because I hate mixed topics. I tried changing myhostname to $mydomain and that just completely stopped the mail server from responding. I know in Plesk, you just needed to add a second A record pointing to the server's mail IP. That cleared any errors for the mail checks at DNS Reports. I tried that in IPConfig but got an error that the A record already exists. Now, it may be I have something set incorrectly in IPConfig too. Here's what I have for each domain in their DNS entries A Records ###.###.###.218 www ###.###.###.218 mail MX Mailserver www.mysiteX.com The server itself is... A Records ###.###.###.220 www ###.###.###.220 mail MX Mailserver www.server.com In the mail check, it shows www.server.com. I need to to respond with www.mysitex.com.
Thats not a DNS issue as I said already in my previous post. If plesk mixes mailsettings up with DNS settings it is not nescessary a DNS setting Please change myhostname and mydomain and then post the errors you get in your mail log.
Changed #myhostname = virtual.domain.tld and #mydomain = domain.tld To: myhostname = $mydomain and mydomain = $mydomain Fatal: Unreasonable macro nesting: "$mydomain" Warning: Process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 7652 exit status 1 Warning: Process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup --throttling Now with that said, the unreasonable nesting is mydomain = $mydomain. BUT, that needs to be variable since there is more than one domain on the server. The DNS Report says this (I KNOW it's not a DNS problem) www.domain.com claims to be non-existent host server.server.com: 220 server.server.com ESMTP Postfix
Why did you do this? $mydomain is a vriable and you can not asign it to itself! I told you that you should add your domain there. So if your domain is e.g. hawker.com, then add: myhostname = hawker.com mydomain = hawker.com Thats completely wrong. The other domains are listed in the file /etc/postfix/local-host-names.
