hi ...

Hope you may already have registered your domain name, your mail server host name should have a valid Reverse DNS, find more info at the link below, and your domains MX record should point to your mail server hostname. Let me know if you need any further info.

i don't really think that links is of any use to you. you would generally just configure your DNS via the company you registered the domain with, or potentially a DNS provider like zoneedit.com

yes, you said that... did you buy dns services when you registered the domain? if so, use them. if not, use somethign like zoneedit.com (deja vu...??)

thanks ! I need how to configure some thing like this

[root@server1 ~]$ nslookup -query="MX" mailjunkie.org
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
mailjunkie.org mail exchanger = 0 mx.mailjunkie.org.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
mailjunkie.org nameserver = dns4.name-services.com.
mailjunkie.org nameserver = dns5.name-services.com.
mailjunkie.org nameserver = dns1.name-services.com.
mailjunkie.org nameserver = dns2.name-services.com.
mailjunkie.org nameserver = dns3.name-services.com.
mx.mailjunkie.org internet address = 1.2.3.4
dns1.name-services.com internet address = 69.25.142.1
dns2.name-services.com internet address = 216.52.184.230
dns3.name-services.com internet address = 63.251.92.193
dns4.name-services.com internet address = 64.74.96.242
dns5.name-services.com internet address = 70.42.37.1

Any way,thanks you are very kind !

you don't really understand what I've just told you do you?

That domain does not appear to be setup at all..

Code:

user@it-etch:~$ dig mailjunkie.org

Are you hiding the true name of your domain ? which is kinda silly with a public facing service..
security through obscurity ? That doesn't work for MS so why would it make you more secure ?

Posts like this prevent us from easily helping to solve your problem. all we have to rely on is the information you provide and you don't have it working to begin with, which means you could be providing us bad information that will do nothing to resolve your issue.

man up, post the name of the domain so we can see what is configured, mis-configured, etc.. otherwise I see this is going to be a long drawn out thread that would require incredible luck to find a solution for you.

btw POP3 is port 110 not 115 (sftp).. is that a typo or are you using a non-standard port ? not that it's relevant to your current question.

no, he's just copying adnd pasting an example from another doc:

farslayer · 01-21-2008, 02:47 PM

wow, least the OP could have done is referenced that it was an example, and what how-to it came from, or that he was following.. **sigh**

good eye on catching that..

How-to as questions the Smart way
