cant recive mails

[Mike A. Sauvain]

if i send from my host to my self it works, but if i try to send from
another domain to my virtual
domains i recive follow message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Action: Failed; Status: 5.1.1 (bad destination
mailbox address)
Remote MTA clean-dress.ch: SMTP diagnostic: 550 Unable to relay for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

my control files:
-rw-r--r--   1 root root4 Feb 26 02:24
concurrencyincoming
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   11 Feb 26 02:24 defaultdelivery
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  102 Mar  5 04:03 locals
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   20 Mar  5 04:04 me
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  193 Feb 26 02:24 sqlserver

in locals:
mail.mynewdomain.ch
mynewdomain.ch
mail.virtualdomain.ch
virtualdomain.ch

in me:
mail.mynewdomain.ch

rcpt host i limit with tcpserver

- has any one some idea?
- could it be, because i use sql support ?

Fix your DNS -- you cannot deliver mail until DNS knows who you are:

gregw@frodo:~$ dig mail.mynewdomain.ch

;  DiG 8.3  mail.mynewdomain.ch 
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;  mail.mynewdomain.ch, type = A, class = IN

SNIP

gregw@frodo:~$ dig mx mynewdomain.ch

;  DiG 8.3  mx mynewdomain.ch 
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; -HEADER- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;  mynewdomain.ch, type = MX, class = IN

SNIP

I even went so far as to query an authoritative NS for .ch -- NXDOMAIN
all the way.
