HI Marcos, Good to hear, it was the one thing I wasn't too sure on, why you were using mailhost2.company.com and not company.com. glad it's all working now.

Hello again, I think we found it. It seems to be a problem (not exactly because it works that way) in the way the DNS server handles the MX entries. I have the MX 10 mailhost.company.com and MX 20 mailhost2.company.com entries. In mailhost to create a domain you just do: vadddomain company.com passwd and if you send an email you reach it. Now if you run the same command for mailhost2 the result will be this annoying message "Sorry, no maildir with that name here" But way? Because we think the DNS understands the entry MX 20 mailhost2.company.com as a kind of subdomain of the existing MX 10 mailhost.company.com so when a mail reaches mailhost2 it tries to find in /home/vpopmail/domains/ the domain "mailhost2.company.com" and not just "company.com" as expected. To test this I did vadddomain mailhost2.company.com passwd and everything was fine then ! So I think we finally solved the problem here. when the new mailhost2 will be completely configured I will remove the first entry for mailhost and there will be no necessity to specify @mailhost2.company.com when you send emails, just as usually send them to @company.com. Thank you guys for all your help in solving this issue, Marcos --- On Sat 05/05, Jake Vickers < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Jake Vickers [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Date: Sat, 05 May 2007 07:02:37 -0400 Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Help from Jake and Eric would be great at this point because I'm in a dead end. Guys, are you out there !!? Craig, you really help me a lot so I want to thank you for the time you spent on this problem. Marcos I've not been watching this thread, and I just briefly glanced over it. So you've set up DNS correctly for mailhost2.company.com and mailhost2.company.net You logged into the CLI and created mailhost2.company.com, correct? Then log into qmailadmin (web page interface - let's keep the process as simple as possible to figure out the issue) and made sure you can log in as postmaster. While logged in as postmaster, create an email for testing. Now try sending an external email to that person. Does it go through? Do not create the alias domain yet, and do not modify any .qmail files. It can get REALLY confusing when you start using .qmail files since the current versions of Toaster do not use them. If you're not familiar with them, don't mess with them. Everything is handled in a mysql table now. Once we make sure it works to that point, we'll throw the next vegetable in the stew.
