[dfutura]

I want to redirect mail to another mailserver and i am configuring dns but it dont work, these are dns zones:

hercesa.com. NS ns.hercesa.com.
ns.hercesa.com. A 62.151.22.112
hercesa.com. A 62.151.22.112
mail.hercesa.com. A 222.222.222.222
mail.hercesa.com. MX (10) hercesa.com.
62.151.22.112 / 24 PTR hercesa.com.

mail.hercesa.com. MX (10) hercesa.com.

The HOST should be hercesa.com. The value should be mail.hercesa.com

hercesa.com. MX (10) mail.hercesa.com.

I have made the chage but it dont work. The problem is only inside the plesk server. all the domains of the server cant send messages to this domain. The external dns in the isp are ok

these are dns zones inside server:

hercesa.com. NS ns.hercesa.com.
ns.hercesa.com. A 62.151.22.112
hercesa.com. A 62.151.22.112
mail.hercesa.com. A 222.222.222.222
hercesa.com. MX (10) mail.hercesa.com.
62.151.22.112 / 24 PTR hercesa.com.

looks fine to me....

all the domains of the server cant send messages to this domain

Do the messages get bounced back? Probably go to nowhere....(actually in mail queue on this local server).

Check the contents of the /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file, it should contain the domain names of all the domains hosted on this server, one name per line.
But not the name hercesa.com since that MX is being hosted outside this server

/var/qmail/control/smtproutes should contain the local server domain name which is associated with 127.0.0.1 and any external domain names if the MX is hosted outside this server:

smtproutes file:
mainserverdomain.com:127.0.0.1:25
hercesa.com:222.222.222.222:25

If mail for a domain is being handled by a server other that the local PSA server, the domain in question needs to be removed from rcpthosts and virtualdomains files. You may have to create the smtproutes file with the domain:IP of the new server. Qmail doesn't reference the OS's hosts file.

Otherwise Qmail will see the domain in its lists and keep trying to route locally instead of passing the mail to the remote queue.

Thx.
Now the messages can be sent.

 

[jamesyeeoc]

Looks like you are trying to send using SSL and the certificate can't be found. Try turning off SSL secure connection in your mail client (Outlook?) and see if the error still occurs.

 

[dfutura]

i am trying to send with webmail and hotmail.

 

[jamesyeeoc]

Hmm, I had to unblock your IP (part of my anti-spam netblock, Spain and all)

Do a 'cat -A /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts' and post the results here.

Also for the files: locals, me, smtproutes, and virtualdomains (all in the same directory).

I have deleted virtualdomains because i thought that culd be the problem

 

[jamesyeeoc]

You need the virtualdomains file!!! Replace it!!!

What looks like the problem is, is that you may be editing the files under Windows and uploading them to the server.

That would explain all the ^M characters in the files.

When you edit files under Windows, normal Win editors will put LFCR on the end of lines. Linux likes to have just LF without the CR.

Option 1: Use a different editor which can be set to Linux/Unix mode (I use NoteTab Lite, but there are others)

Option 2: Recreate the files from scratch using the Linux editors (such as nano, pico, vi, emacs)

Option 3: Use the linux utiltiy 'dos2unix' on the text files to remove the ^M characters.
For each file, do 'dos2unix filename' and it will remove the ^M characters.

Then restart Qmail (or everything)

Simplest to do Option 3

that was the problem, now it works.

i must have the same problem with vhost.conf to enable register_globals

thanks!!!!
