    Initially I had problems sending emails, then it was identified that my ISP's SMTP was interfering, now that is sorted, I can send out emails and it reaches the intended recipient within few minutes (less than a minute in all the cases I've tried).

    But when they send me a reply to my email or when they compose a new email I'm not receiving then and they are getting bounce back message like the following:-

    Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

    Subject: Hi
    Sent: 18/08/2005 12:58

    The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

    [email protected] on 18/08/2005 12:58
    There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator.
    <smtp1.smtp.dlt.com #5.5.0 smtp;554 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied>

    [P.S: [email protected] was used just to hide the actual email id ]

    What can I do to prevent this happening?

    Many thanks to all your help.

    Please find the /var/log/maillog extract from postfix when i tried to send an email from hotmail to my [email protected] id.


    Thanks.

    Ah! interestingly I'm able to receive emails for other email ids with other domains that I'm hosting on my server. Its only for a specific domain it is causing the problems. I'll double check my settings by comparing that one with others and see if that helps.

    Thanks

    Hi All,

    Since I was hosting 3 domains and its emails. I tried emailing to my other domains and then emails to those domains worked straightaway.

    so, i deleted the problematic domain in ispconfig and recreated them, which set everything right and my emails to that domain started working.

    Thanks for your time.

    I have a similar problem with several domains. It all was working, then stopped for only a few domains. All the settings are identical. SOmehow I think ISP Config didn't clean something up. I hate to have to delete and recreate a bunch of domains to clean things up manually. Any other ideas for this? Note that the domains are entered in /etc/postfix/local-host-names. I'm using * as a wildcard for hostnames in the co-domains settings.

    Are the domains hosted on your server? If not, you have to enable smtp-auth in your email client.
