Okay,
Im throughly stumped.
I send email to me@mydomain.com and it comes back saying relaying denied.
I send email to me@www.mydomain.com and it gets sent through just fine to me.

Why is this?

Raq3i

Thats cause you dun have access to smtp port which is 25, right? *scratches head*, for just your domain name, without http://www. You just need to enable it.

This is a case where you'd check 'those boxes' - did you do that for this domain? This is when you send email *to* an address and has nothing to do with actually sending mail *out* the server, correct?

Chicken, I did checkmark both those boxes when setting up the domain. Yup, this is when trying to send mail to user@mydomain.com it doesnt work, says user unknown, I dont send mail through my server, instead I use my ISP provider. Kunal, how do you enable port 25 and why would that cause this to not know user@domain.com but would recognize them at user@www.mydomain.com

Thanks,

I think he's thinking that you are trying to send mail *through* the server, so I think you can scratch that of the list of possible problems.

My best guess: You know how sometimes you try something with a script/program and it doesn't work, then you change it and add it again the *exact* same way, and it works for absolutely no reason?

I'd *try* unchecking those boxes for that domain, saving changes, then rechecking the boxes and saving changes again. It might not work, but then again, it might work. Yeah, I know, lame solution, but it is the only thing I can come up with.

Unless there is a setting for how you set up the DNS which I don't know about. Thisis the only other area which might be giving you problems. I don't run DNS directly on my machine itself, so I can't offer much there. Recheck, and delete/re-add to be sure if you think this might be causing some problems.

Okay, I deleted the domain from the dns records and recreated it the exact same way as before, and now it works.

Im stumped by this, but I guess so long as it works now, and it seems to work properly now, since I was also having a problem in that if I typed in mydomain.com I ended up going to the first setup domain with the ip address specified, but If I typed in http://www.mydomain.com it went to the right place. Weird?

Now I deleted the domain from dns, recreated it, went to mydomain.com and it took me to the right place, somethings whacked about these raq3's, not to say that theirs something whacked about my provider of the raq just that the actualy raq3's in general must be whacked, this isnt the first time strange things have happened.

Anyway, the email resolves correctly now.


Thanks for the help

See now, you just have to create, delete and re-add everything and it all works! Seriously, if something doesn't work that should work, recreating the entry seems to solve the problem. It doesn't happen often luckily, but the software running the beast isn't 100% perfect.

Good to know it all worked out though.
