Hi all - Sorry to be late to the game with this - in an earlier list email that I inadvertently deleted (thinking I had no helpful input, of course!) titled "Problem with XMail on NetBSD-4" there was a discussion about the error:
Recipient domain "xxxx.com" does not exist (or it has a misconfigured DNS) I am also getting this error regularly with FreeBSD 6 and XMail 1.25. I mention it in the XMail forums as well, and read about a number of other recent occurrences, but nothing has been resolved specifically. As I mention in the forums, I have verified the domains are valid and properly configured in some of the cases, but the errors are consistent with specific domains. In my case, one example is "trikorausa.com" which I can send email from any server other than my active XMail server under FreeBSD, adn which looks properly configured via dnstools.com (I configured it, so I believe it is correct...) Davide responded: I think XMail is getting a ERR_DNS_NXDOMAIN (NXDOMAIN) from your DNS server. When that's happening, XMail does not even try to fall back to the A record delivery. and I think seems like it may be correct, but I am uncertain how to test this. The server does not provide DNS queries for itself (although it provides DNS for the domains it is authoritative on) but queries a m0n0wall router on the LAN, which queries my ISPs DNS servers. The server is able to resolve a dig as well as dig+trace to the MX record to trikorausa.com (and other domains) without incident. This would suggest that something else might be going on, since the domain does have a functional and valid MX record, so there should be no need to fall back to an A record. This seems to be a new problem, but I updated XMail to 1.25, FreeBSD (minor update) and the m0n0wall router (minor update) all around the same time. I am not using SmartDNSHost, nor have I ever, although I've been running XMail for 6 or more years... should I test setting it to my ISP DNS servers rather than the local m0n0wall router (which queries the ISP servers anyway successfully with other services on the same server)? Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations about how to test where the problem might be?
