| Post subject: | Can't send mail to own domain |
I use my Linode as a web host only, and use Tuffmail for my email needs. Accordingly, I have my MX records pointing to Tuffmail. Anyway, it appears that when I send an email via sendmail or php's mail function, I can send to any domain EXCEPT for my domain. I am sure it's some simple config issue, but I am stumped. Any ideas? |

A little more information would be helpful, what mail server are you using? Are there any errors in /var/log/mail.log |

Your mail system (postfix maybe?) may think it is authoritative for your domain, so it isn't bothering to do MX record lookups to deliver mail. |

Code: Mar 9 04:33:36 localhost sendmail[3644]: p29AXaTm003644: to=user@domain.com, ctladdr=user@domain.com (33/33), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30532, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (p29AXaab003645 Message accepted for delivery) I actually do not have a mail server set up on this installation. (Though I do use sendmail and php mail for outgoing mail only). |

You should probably follow one of these guides then http://library.linode.com/email/exim/se ... 0.04-lucid http://library.linode.com/email/postfix ... 0.04-lucid (assuming you're using ubuntu lucid if not pick the relevant guide from the library) |

Thanks for the links! I followed the first guide, and unfortunately I am still having the same issue. My username is the same as my email address, so email is being delivered to my user instead of being relayed externally. Any other ideas? |
