Topic: Virtual Domains not receiving mail HELP!!!

[Chris Woods]

I'm running SME 5.6 U4 and just yesterday my server decided to stop receiving e-mails to the virtual domains.

The Primary domain works fine.  I'm not getting any errors and I've scanned for viruses.

Any thoughts on this guys?

tks.

Not using dyndns are you? or have a dhcp lease?

I found when my ip address changed only my primary domain got updated there end the rest you have to do manually.

Hope this helps i know i spent hours with the same problem.

How did you do it manually?

[g7pkf]

drop to a good old shell prompt

type ifconfig

read your ip address for youe ext interface if it scrolls of the top of the screen do

ifconfig ethX  

where X=your external interface


Log into your account at www.dyndns.org go to your virtual domains and change the ipaddress shown to the one gleemed from ifconfig or the one on your primary domain @ dyndns (ifconfig and primary will be the same if not your primary email wont work)

Let us know if it fixes it

I fixed it.
I did this manually.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

Everything is now happy again.

Hi g7pkf,

If you have multiple dynamic DNS accounts to update and have trouble updating it, try the ddclient howto at contribs.org.
