Topic: Virtual Domail Email Not Going out

[cosy]

Hi All,

  I'm hosting one website and their mail is hosting at their ISP.

  I can't send any email to this domain. I'm running SME contrib version.

Under Server manager :

 Current list of hostnames for tanknology.com.au.

Hostname Visibility Location Local IP Global IP Ethernet address Action

ausnetitgw.tanknology.com.au Local Self          
ftp.tanknology.com.au Local Self       Modify  Remove  
proxy.tanknology.com.au Local Self       Modify  Remove  
wpad.tanknology.com.au Local Self       Modify  Remove  
www.tanknology.com.au Local Self       Modify  Remove  

I try removing the mail.tanknology.com.au but no luck.

If i dig

[root@ausnetitgw root]# dig tanknology.com.au MX

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> tanknology.com.au MX
;; global options:  printcmd

what's wrong with me?????

can you resolve the mail.optusnet.com.au dns name to an ip address?
When you did the dig tanknology.com.au MX, was that on your SME server?
On an un-modified SME server the mx record will resolve to mail.<domain name>. As you can't remove mail maybe you need to set the mail hostname to be remote with the ip address of 211.29.132.243 (mail.optusnet.com.au's ip address)
