Hi,

This is my first mail server installation attempt and I need help locating and fixing one or several issues.

I followed Gilles's post here: https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-dovecot-and-rspamd/

I am running a Debian 12 server hosted at OVH. It's a fresh VPS, and the domain I'm using for that test is ivanroth.fr, with the subdomain mail.ivanroth.fr as advised in the article.

DNS and rDNS seems fine, host and dig reply what they are supposed to.

On the server, I created an account with my first name (ivan) and I am using i...@ivanroth.fr as the test mail address.

Now comes the issue.

 * I can send mail from local server to the outside using mutt (and
   having it configured to use the Maildir folder).
 * I can access my server from Thunderbird, reading folders (the Sent
   folder gets populated correctly)
 * I can receive local mail sent from system (I was not in the sudoers
   file and got the mail addressed to root because root is aliased to
   ivan in the aliases file)

but

 * I cannot send a mail to myself (i...@ivanroth.fr) using mutt from
   the server
 * I cannot send from the outside to that address
 * I cannot send from that address using Thunderbird

When looking at systemctl status opensmtpd, I see some errors I don't understand like :

debian opensmtpd smtp-out: No valid route for [connector:[]->[relay:ivanroth.fr,smtp],0x0]

I don't really know where to start digging. If someone could point me to some direction, it would be nice.

Let me just say that I'm not a server administration noob (not a pro at all but I'm pretty used to web server administration) but, for some reason, the mail issue remains completely obscure to me. Please show me the light :)

Ivan
