Topic: Need help with mail server

[Matt]

Whenever someone trys to send mail to my mail server (me@mydomain.com), it keeps coming back to them saying reason: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)) What do I have to do to allow people to email me?

Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like your e-smith server doesn't know that it's mydomain.com.  You have two alternatives: either go back through the console configuration and change the domain name to mydomain.com, or add mydomain.com as a virtual domain.

It sounds like you dont have your domain published in the Internet that's the reason you receive ....is not in the list of rcpthosts.... your server can't be found as a valid reception host for mail by any dns server....
In my opinion thts the problem.
the solution is publish correctly your servers with some isp or dns service.
