You very certainly don't authenticate as must@xxxxxxxx, but as "must". Check your SASL setup. By default your would use saslauthd, which uses as MECH shadow or pam and strips the domain part (@domain.tld) when not started with parameter "-r". Well, your system user ist "must" and not "must@xxxxxxxx". > and recieve mails to other users. then i tried to login using name > must@xxxxxxxx and got loged in, while my dns or local-host-names doesnt > contain any entry for must.com, this login with must@xxxxxxxx can send and > recieve mails to/for must@xxxxxxxxx See above. > another thing is that if i try to send mail to must@xxxxxxxx while being > loged in with must@xxxxxxxx, it doesnt send one. Why do you try to send mails to someone in the net, to a domain you don't control, just for testing purposes? If you try to send out test messages to an external domain then first ask the recipient that it is ok for him to await a test mail. $ host -t mx must.com must.com mail is handled by 100 mx1.must.com. $ nslookup mx1.must.com Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: mx1.must.com Address: 10.23.42.11 Well, that explains the last part. > Azeem Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG http://pgp.mit.edu 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora Core 2 GNU/Linux on Athlon with kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC2smp Serendipity 19:23:26 up 18 days, 0 users, load average: 0.67, 0.34, 0.22
