So the postmaster addresses work fine from the outside? Then it's a case of the pointers not working. Someone will have to correct me on this as I still use and only know the .qmail-username method for all addresses. It changed somewhere along the line and it seems yours isn't working correctly.
So in other words when it comes time to deliver mail, it looks for a referance to the user (on my server for instance it would find .qmail-test) and process accordingly. I believe at some stage this moved from .qmail files to mysql. That portion is probably where your problem is, but I don't use it so I can't help. Were there any .qmail files listed in /home/vpopmail/domains/company.com ? If there is a .qmail-postmaster in there? Also when you created the .qmail-test file I forgot to mention the ownership and permissions. Chances are they are currently root.root If this is the case, chown vpopmail.vchkpw .qmail-test restart qmail and try sending to test@ again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 May 2007 11:56 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside Craig, You said: "what about sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Something certainly isn't right on your box. Are the logs still reporting the same thing and what is the bounce back message?" I sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and other to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I received them perfectly !! But the problem remains for test and test2 and the bounce mail I received every time I sent a mail to those useres is in full detail here : Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mailhost2.company.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) --- Below this line is a copy of the message.

I send them to @mailhost2.company.com or .net because I already have a working mailhost.company.com so if send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or .net they will be delivered to this one who is in /var/named/ record of our DNS as MX 10 mailhost.company.com followed by this new one with MX 20 mailhost2.company.com (both have their .net entry as well). So to avoid them to be delivered to the working one I specify which one I want to reach. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
