I know it must be that I am missing something but I have tried to find the error with no resolve. for example if I setup a virtual domain with the following for a DNS record (the domain names below are bogus I am using real ones in the actual server) @ IN SOA test.com. root.test.com. ( 199922700 ; Serial 28800 ; Refresh 14400 ; Retry 3600000 ; Expire 86400 ) ; Minimum IN NS NS1.nameserver.COM. IN NS NS2.nameserver.COM. IN MX 10 mail.test.com. @ IN A 209.53.177.3 mail IN A 209.53.177.5 I add the domain using vpopmails scripts as follows \home\vpopmail\bin\vadddomain test.com password \home\vpopmail\bin\vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] password when sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the following error **<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: **Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it **isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6) now if I add the virtual domain mail.test.com using the scripts like the following \home\vpopmail\bin\vadddomain mail.test.com password \home\vpopmail\bin\vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] password I can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see it appear in /home/vpopmail/domains/mail.test.com/frank/Maildir/new I still can not send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] any Ideas, Thanks in advance Cris Leonard, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netcents.com
