Mail server fails to receive mails - satimis - 2007-01-18


Hi folks,

 

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64

Postfix

Domain: satimis.com

 

 

My mail server can send mail but failed to received mail.

 

Tried sending mail from yahoo.com to "satimis@satimis.com" with following result;

Code:
<satimis@satimis.com>: 64.202.166.11 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 553 sorry, relaying denied from your location [66.163.179.83] (#5.7.1) Giving up on 64.202.166.11.




 

$ whois 64.202.166.11

Code:
OrgName: Go Daddy Software OrgID: GDS-31 Address: 14455 N Hayden Road Address: Suite 226 City: Scottsdale StateProv: AZ PostalCode: 85260 Country: US NetRange: 64.202.160.0 - 64.202.191.255 CIDR: 64.202.160.0/19 NetName: GO-DADDY-SOFTWARE-INC NetHandle: NET-64-202-160-0-1 Parent: NET-64-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Allocation NameServer: CNS1.SECURESERVER.NET NameServer: CNS2.SECURESERVER.NET Comment: RegDate: 2002-10-22 Updated: 2004-05-24 .....




 

"64.202.166.11" refers to Godaddy, the Registrant

 

 

Total DNS Control on godaddy.com site



Code:
CNAMES (Aliases) Host Points To TTL Actions email email.satimis.com 3600 mail pop.satimis.com 3600 webmail webmail.satimis.com 3600 smtp smtp.satimis.com 3600 pop pop.satimis.com 3600 e email.satimis.com 3600 www @ 3600 mobilemail mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 3600 pda mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 3600 ftp @ 3600 MX (Mail Exchange) Priority Host Goes To TTL Actions 0 @ smtp.satimis.com 3600 10 @ mailstore1.secureserver.net 3600 TXT (Text)

Hi,

 

It looks like your SMTP server does not want to talk to other machines:

 



Code:
Remote host said: 553 sorry, relaying denied from your location




 

Have a look in your /etc/postfix/main.cf configuration file to see if its listening to all interfaces.

Do you think that you can post your cfg file for postfix?

Hi folks,

 

 

Tks for your advice.

 

Problem solved by editing DNS Control Center on Godaddy site making all items under "CNAMES (Aliases)" pointing to "satimis.com". Now postfix can receive mails.

 

My next step will be setup user mail boxes, security, etc. Please advise where can I find "documents for Ubuntu" to install/setup Postfixadmin, setup vmail user account and usergroup, setup files linking MySQL and postfix, etc.

 

TIA
