Quoting peter thesing <peter43@xxxxxxxxx>:

Hi

Thru the tutorial i have setup webcyradmin, postfix and Cyrus as mail components. Without any problem i can send emails to the defined users in the domains i have specified in webcyradmin. However if i want to send an email to my hotmail account i get the following entry in the mail log.
Jun 12 13:08:28 peter postfix/qmgr[27116]: EB2F255BE8: from=<peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=575, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jun 12 13:08:28 peter postfix/smtp[27202]: EB2F255BE8: to=<peterthesing@xxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=hotmail.com type=MX: Host not found, try again)
Jun 12 13:08:28 peter postfix/smtpd[27175]: disconnect from celeron.prive.web[10.0.0.157]

and the mail is not delivered



Postfix does not deal with the main address, only the Mail eXchangher
(MX) addresses, so the relevant queries are:

host -t mx hotmail.com

dig hotmail.com mx

HTH,
Jeffrey


peter:/etc/postfix # host -t mx hotmail.com
Host hotmail.com not found: 4(NOTIMP)
