First, start by fixing your DNS server. It's totally hosed for icesource.com. $ whois icesource.com [whois.crsnic.net] .... Domain servers in listed order: NS1.AXELIS.COM xx.xx.123.173 NS2.AXELIS.COM xx.xx.123.174 $ dig +short @ns1.axelis.com icesource.com ns primary.icesource.com. $ dig +short @ns2.axelis.com icesource.com ns dig: Couldn't find server 'ns2.axelis.com': Name or service not known Note that ns2.axelis.com did not respond. Plus, only one name server is listed (primary.icesource.com). Since name servers are queried in a round-robin order; some queries to your domain are going to fail. This really needs to be fixed. $ dig +short @ns1.axelis.com icesource.com mx $ dig +short @ns1.axelis.com icesource.com a xx.xx.123.173 $ dig +short @ns1.axelis.com mail.icesource.com a xx.xx.123.172 As Anthony Greene correctly pointed out in his reply to your post - your domain name icesource.com does not have MX records (note the plural) defined for mail delivery. FWIW: MTA's (like sendmail) will first try to deliver to the defined MX records, then to the A (address) record. Which looks like what's happening in your case. Fix your name server! Then try configuring your mail server. Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
