I'm having some Postfix /DNS problems. I am trying to setup a box
domain1.com but I want to also receive mail there for another domain,
virtualdomain2.net let's say. The domain1.com mail gets there fine. But
virtualdomain2.net doesn't. It works internally,(I think) because I can use
pine or an imap mua on this box to send mail to virtualdomain2.net and it
gets redirected to a certain person, but if I send it from another pop
service, yahoo mail let's say, it doesn't make it. I think this has to do
with DNS? I use easyspace.com to do my DNS stuff, register name point MX
records and stuff. I've registered both names and have A records for
www.domain1.com pointing to IP 123.123.123.1 and MX records for domain1.com
to www.domain1.com and have MX records for virtualdomain2.net pointing to
www.domain1.com. I was wondering if this was correct also? I haven't been
able to find much on setting up multiple MX records outside of your own DNS
box. Is this better to do internally? If so, how would I let the world
know to look at my box for DNS for these domains?
Is there a log I should be looking at to see if it even makes it to my box?
I don't know much about postfix or Linux for that matter, but I'm trying to
learn! ; ) ( could this be a firewall thing? Or some security thing that I
haven't set?)
Problem #2 or 50 depending how you look at it ; ) Since the redirection
seems to work for one individual internally, I want the rest of the mail
@virtualdomain2.net to go to mainperson at domain1.com, but I can't figure this
one out. I've set up the virtual table like this
Virtualdomain2.net Virtually Hosted Domain
@virtualdomain2.net mainperson at domain1.com
one at virtualdomain2.net one at domain1.com
The one makes it, but not the catch all. I kind of guessed at this so if
I'm way off please go easy, I tried to read as much as I could find, I
promise! ; )
If you have any ideas please let me know! Thank you very much! I know this
is a long message, sorry...
