Hey...

Everytime I send an email to my domain (to any email address listed on my domain) I get an email back saying User Unknown. The mail was working just fine early and now doesn't. I've restarted sendmail and it still doesn't work.

Here's an example of the email I get back.

--- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ---
<robert@dim8.net>

Anyhelp is appreciated.

Make sure you have the "Accept mail for domain" box checked. It looks like I can send mail to robert@www.dim8.net but not robert@dim8.net:

This is weird since i own (kchats server) and that is the only domain having problems.

That looks like an auth problem. Do you have pop-auth installed? I know you said that it is when you send mail *to* your domain, but often that is the error you get when trying to send mail from the server.

Make sure you have checked the accept email for this domain.

Nope we made sure not to install that software this time around. We had the server reset a week ago. Everything worked fine till the maillogs got stuck. Now they work again but dim8's mail dont work.

If you have a good backup of the site, you might want to consider deleting it, and resetting it up...something did not take :).

thats what i was considering doing ill leave it to robert to delete it and recreate it.

under email options in the admin section of your control panel (controlpanel/email/parameters/domainaliases )look for dim8.com you will definately see http://www.dim8.com there , if you dont see it add it and your email will work for both http://www.dim8 and dim8 its one of those wacky raq things where it forgets to add the alias for the domain name.
