I am running Dovecot 1.0.10 and have it working great on ender.ath.cx (my free DynDNS.com subdomain), but recently I registered lemcoe.com and pointed it to the same IP address as ender.ath.cx. The problem is, only e-mail sent to the @ender.ath.cx works. If it is send it to @lemcoe.com, I don't know where it goes. I get no errors either. How can I get Dovecot to recognize both domains? TIA. David
What are you using as your MTA (i.e., which server is listening for the incoming SMTP message)? Postfix? Sendmail? Have you checked for errors at this level? - Jon On Nov 2, 2008, at 1:34 PM, David M Lemcoe Jr. wrote:> > I am running Dovecot 1.0.10 and have it working great on > ender.ath.cx (my > free DynDNS.com subdomain), but recently I registered lemcoe.com and > pointed it to the same IP address as ender.ath.cx.

When you send an email to anyone at lemcoe.com, the sending MTA sends email to the MX server of lemcoe.com. Only in the case of an absent MX record will the MTA try delivering directly to lemcoe.com (i.e. the host itself, rather than its MX record). % dig +short MX lemcoe.com 10 mail.lemcoe.com. % host ender.ath.cx ender.ath.cx has address 76.240.25.136 % host mail.lemcoe.com mail.lemcoe.com has address 67.19.72.202 As you can see, the host that handles mail for lemcoe.com !76.240.25.136. -- Sahil Tandon <sahil at tandon.net>
Does the log show that the incoming messages are actually received? If not, it sounds like you're missing an MX record in DNS. If you are seeing the message come in, what does the log say it did with it? - Jon On Nov 2, 2008, at 1:45 PM, mailing wrote:> > I am using Postfix and /var/logs/mail.log does not have any errors > when > sending to lemcoe.com > > Thanks for quick response. > > On Sun, 2 Nov 2008 13:41:31 -0700, Jon Fullmer <jon at jonfullmer.com> > wrote: >> What are you using as your MTA (i.e., which server is listening for >> the incoming SMTP message)?

It's not clear from your response that you understand why it's failing. It would seem clear that postfix doesn't see this as a local domain. Instead, it thinks you're trying to relay to somewhere else. Check your virtual_mailbox_domains file (or database) and make sure it has an entry for the new domain.
