Email Not Working On VPS Server, Please Help
Hello,
I am brand new to Web Hosting Talk, however i've looked at this site for a while and really enjoyed the amount of content in the forums.
I'm currently having a problem with my VPS and it's Email System
So right now, i have 3 domains hosted, one of them being the server's domain as well.
I can get the email to work on the other 2 domains and can create and use any within cPanel.
However with the main one, i can't get it to work.
I created an admin@ email for it and it says when i try and troubleshoot it that it's an unroutable address.
First off, i did look in the "Edit MX Entry" and that domain isn't there but it is in the DNS Entry with the proper MX entries.
Any thoughts on what i should do? It's been bugging me for a month and i've looked everywhere on this forum and others and can't find anything on it.
Thanks!
Steve

Can you try to send via webmail for the same email client to see if that returns a different error message? Preferably Roundcube email client to test for sending. After you try to send using Roundcube,

I can't even login to Roundcube, says it's a bad login info.
I can login until i choose the mail system i want to use to view the mail, which is either Roundcube, Squirrelmail or Horde.
I tried them all and it keeps saying bad login info even though it's the correct information.

If you haven't created any other custom DNS entry have you tried resetting the DNS records?
Also, then go to edit dns and make sure you have selected either automatic or local server only (to be safe). That should get you working with the MX problem.
All the best, keep us updated.

Either there is a dns problem with recipient, you spelled the address incorrectly, or you are a spammer and reached your host's limit

He said he's on a VPS, the host won't be limiting him unless they have some sort of physical firewall on the node which I seriously doubt.

Not a spammer for sure, yes, i am on a VPS and it's for the 3 domains i host.
andrewklau, i tried both the automatic and local again which was the default before but thank you for the suggestion. I also tried resetting the DNS and neither worked this sucks and really weird. i can get both the other domains to work just fine with email, but when i do this one, it doesn't work
