Hi I setup the email server on my FC1 system. I have problem sending and
receiving mail. Please bare with me, I need to explain the problem. I
have one email server from my work with is working fine( gibbons.com).
And I try setup the new email server which I name it
barracuda.gibbons.com. I also name it as a alias gibbonsmail.com. The
alias gibbonsmail.com never works. I did 3 things here.
1. I email from my new server(barracuda.gibbons.com) to my yahoo
account, my gibbons.com(the working server), it gets through. The
receivers receive the email. I send to my hotmail account, don't know
what happen there, my hotmail account never receives the email, and
there's no Mail Delivery Subsystem send back to the sender. I send tomy
sbcglobal.net account, it fails, the Mail Deliver Subsystem got back.
2. I email from my working server. It successfully sent to
nina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, but fail on nina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
and nina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(Delivery subsystem got back)
3. I email from my yahoo account it failed all( the Deliver
Subsystem got back). The receivers are nina.barracuda.gibbonsmail.com,
nina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, nina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Even though yahoo
account can receive the mail from nina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Any idea?
Nina, I don't see an MX entry for gibbonsmail.com.
(ie. doing 'dig mx gibbonsmail.com +short' returns nothing)
You will need one in DNS (and register that domain name, it returns 'no
match'). If you've entered one, it may not have propagated yet. This
would explain why it can't deliver the mail to those addresses.

Thanks you guys. So I will need to register my domain to be able to
email to the world, but I can exchange mail to my first email server
without register the domain. Maybe that means locally.
