... while talking to dim8.net.:
>>> RCPT To:<support@dim8.net>
<<< 550 <support@dim8.net>... User unknown
550 <support@dim8.net>... User unknown


all of them on Dim8.net dont work...

I havent tocuhed anything.. any ideas?

What type of RAQ do you have?

Also, does mail get to "support@www.dim8.net"?

Hmm.. here is something strange

the username is webmast and when I email to webmast@dim8.net it works, but when I email to the email alias which is webmaster it doesnt work.

Same for support..

so only when I email to the username it works.. not the email alias.. any ideas?? thanks.

Sounds like your alias file is gone. This happens every so often. I bet none of your sites are receiving mail at the aliases. Chances are the aliases are not in the alias part of the GUI either. Re-adding them will sometimes fix it.

I am looking in my handy-dandy tool box for a script we have that will rebuild an alias files. It is probably on my work computer. Sorry. We got ours off the Cobalt usergroup, so try there. I have also seen the fix on this forum.

I recreated it and that didn't work. Any ideas? I did a search and found nothing. :(

Try the Cobalt users group and archives. I know it is in there becuase that is where we grabbed it. If not, I will send you the script tomorrow when I get to work. I know that sucks.

ya sure man if you can please send it to me .. hmm.. well my email isn't working so if you could maybe upload it to a URL fo a little while and I'll download it that would be great. My mail stopped working AGAIN. =(

Are you adding @www.dim8.net or @dim8.net for aliases?

Okay here is the story:

Yesterday I noticed that none of my email addresses were working. Strange I thought, it kept coming back saying 550.. user unknown. So than I deleted all the users and recreated them giving them their own email alias. I tried email the email alias (webmaster@dim8.net) and once again I got the 550 error.. so I tried webmasta@dim8.net (the username) and it worked. So for some reason my email alias weren't working. I deleted the entire site, moved it to a new IP, recreated the users with email alias and everything was working just fine. Today, webmaster@dim8.net and support@dim8.net don't work. my other email alias robert@dim8.net works just fine. :bawling: So some work and some don't.

Strange? Yes. Anyway to fix it? I dunno.

Donovan: in my email alias I just type "webmaster" or "support"..

In my admin control panel, my IP is listed, my domain (both www.dim8.net and dim8.net).

I just recreated the user webmasta w/ the email alias webmaster and it still doesn't work.

I just deleted the user webmasta, restarted sendmail, recreated the user webmasta w/ alias webmaster and emailed robert@dim8.net, webmaster@dim8.net and only robert@dim8.net went through.. I got a 550 .. user unknown for webmasta.. any ideas??

::sigh::

seems like everytime I create the email alias 'webmaster' it doesn't work.. i keep getting 550..unknown user and the same for the email alias 'support'. I even tried adding webmaster to an existing user name and it still didn't work, but the other alias under that username worked.


This is strange.. any ideas... any one?

I might need to give Cobalt a call.


You know what.. when I do a locate webmasta (the username) I get nothing.

[root@www /root]# locate webmasta
[root@www /root]#


But when I do a locate robert (a working username)
I get the directory for mail

[root@www /root]# locate robert
/var/spool/mail/robert
/home/spool/mail/robert


This leads me to believe that the username webmasta wasn't fully created. However, keep in mind that I just created the username webmasta bout 15 minutes ago, so maybe it hasn't created anything for it??
