Unhappy Mail is not going retry timeout exceed error


Hi to all,
Hope everyone will be fine.I am new to Linux and i want to send mail from one server to another means mail is going from server1 xxx.x.xxx.xx IP address to server2 yyy.y.yyy.yyy IP address. I have a main domain named say domain.com(On server1) and i want that mail is go to subdomain.domain.com(On server2).
For this first i changed the server2 name to subdomain.domain.com by editing the /etc/sysconfig/network and change the HOSTNAME to subdomain.domain.com. On server 2 i have sendmail.Then i created the user by useradd harry and using mutt when i log in tu user basit it shows a message that
/var/spool/mail/root: Permission denied (errno = 13)

i don't no why this message come but when i send mail to harry using mutt its work fine.
Now on my server1 i created the MX record like this

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
domain.com IN SOA ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
904233139
10800
3600
604800
86400 )
domain.com. IN NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com. IN NS ns2.domain.com.
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.
ns1.domain.com. IN A xx.xxx.xx.xx
ns2.domain.com. IN A xx.xxx.xx.xx
domain.com. IN NS subdomain.domain.com.
subdomain.domain.com. IN MX 10 subdomain.domain.com.
subdomain.domain.com. IN A yyy.y.yyy.yyy

$ORIGIN domain.com.

hrm A yyy.y.yyy.yyy
netlah A xx.xxx.xx.xx
sahil A xx.xxx.xx.xx
bbc A yyy.y.yyy.yyy
subdomain A yyy.y.yyy.yyy

On server1 i have an atmail installed so when i try to send email to harry@subdomain.domain.com the mail return and the error is retry timeout exceed.
When i use the command on server1 that telnet subdomain.domain.com 25

Trying xx.xxx.xx.xx...
Connected to subdomain.domain.com (xx.xxx.xx.xx).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ns1.domain.com Welcome to the @Mail SMTP Server ( Exim )

So my question is where i am doing wrong that when i use telnet subdomain.domain.com 25 it starts try to connect xx.xxx.xx.xx rather than yyy.y.yyy.yyy and why it shows retry timeout exceed. Please guide me and help me
I searched this error that it is because your mailbix is full or some space issue but i created a new user how it's mail box can be full. So please help me

Thanks in advance.

You must first solve your dns problem.
The timeout error could be due to various reasons besides a full mailbox (could be a firewall)
To check you dns, run from server1
Code:
dig subdomain.domain.com

One thing that i don't understand that when i define subdomain.domain.com points to IP address yyy.y.yyy.yyy then why it is show this line
subdomain.domain.com. 86400 IN A xx.xxx.xx.xx

i didn't point my subdomain.domain.com to this IP in my MX record file, it should only point to my server2 IP i.e., yyy.y.yyy.yyy

Thank you.

You should remove the 2 $ORIGIN records (specially the 2nd one makes subdomain.domain.com authoritative for the domain). Increase serial, restart bind and see if dig gives the correct results.

Btw, you don't have an A record for your domain's MX server (mail.domain.com)

Hi,
Thank you.You mean remove these two lines only
$ORIGIN .
$ORIGIN domain.com.

Increase serial but how much.

No I have under the $ORIGIN . directive like this
$ORIGIN .
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.

and also under the $ORIGIN domain.com. like this

$ORIGIN domain.com.
A xx.xxx.xx.xx
www A xx.xxx.xx.xx
mail A xx.xxx.xx.xx
circle A xx.xxx.xx.xx
entertainment A xx.xxx.xx.xx
subdomain.domain.com A yyy.y.yyy.yyy

Thank you.

Yes I mean those 2 lines. $ORIGIN is taken from named.conf, so unless you need to do something unusual, you can safely omit it.

Serial in you case is the number 904233139 and every time you make a change in the zone file, you have to increase it, so when you reload bind it will read the changes. If the serial remains the same, bind does not bother to read the rest of the zone file

You don't have:
mail A xx.xxx.xx.xx

Hi,
Thank you .

I have removed the lines and now my MX record file is look like this

$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
domain.com IN SOA ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
905344249
10800
3600
604800
86400 )
domain.com. IN NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com. IN NS ns2.domain.com.
domain.com. IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.
ns1.domain.com. IN A 38.105.84.66
ns2.domain.com. IN A 38.105.84.66
domain.com. IN NS subdomain.domain.com.
subdomain.domain.com. IN MX 10 subdomain.domain.com.
subdomain.domain.com. IN A 202.5.145.100



A xx.xxx.xx.xx

mail A xx.xxx.xx.xx
circle A xx.xxx.xx.xx
entertainment A xx.xxx.xx.xx
bbc A yyy.y.yyy.yyy
subdomain A yyy.y.yyy.yyy

And after restarting named(/etc/init.d/named restart) and running dig i got the output


[root@ns1 ~]# dig subdomain.domain.com

Oh everything has gone

What happened is this.

If i don't have

mail A xx.xxx.xx.xx

then how can i define it and what is this that had defined under @ORIGIN directive previously

mail A xx.xxx.xx.xx

if it didn't that you are asking then please tell me what you are talking about(mail A xxx.xx.xx.xx)

Thank you.

Use this zone file and see if it works.
Code:
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
@ IN SOA ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
905344250
10800

                    NS ns2.domain.com.
                    MX 10 mail.domain.com.

ns1.domain.com. IN A 38.105.84.66

mail A xx.xxx.xx.xx
circle A xx.xxx.xx.xx
entertainment A xx.xxx.xx.xx

$ORIGIN subdomain.domain.com.
subdomain.domain.com. IN MX 10 subdomain.domain.com.
subdomain.domain.com. IN A 202.5.145.100
Take a look at the log files to see why you get the SERVFAIL error

According to startup logs you must correct the following zone files: db.harvardgreens.com, db.netkarachi.com. Go to the lines indicated in the log and see what's wrong. Don't forget to incease the serial (by 1) and reload bind.
Are any of these the zone that gives the SERVFAIL?

Hi,
Hope you will be fine. I m tired with trying send mail using subdomain.So now i am using another domain name nethyderabad because i have so many domain names that i can use. The setting for my nethyderabad zone file is

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
nethyderabad.com IN SOA voicemail.netkarachi.com. admin.netkarachi.com. (
904233134 ; serial
10800 ; refresh (3 hours)
3600 ; retry (1 hour)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
86400 ; minimum (1 day)
)
nethyderabad.com. NS voicemail.netkarachi.com.

; A Record
nethyderabad.com. IN A 202.5.145.100

; MX record
nethyderabad.com. MX 0 mail.nethyderabad.com.

$ORIGIN nethyderabad.com.

www A 202.5.145.100

and the output of dig nethyderabad.com is

First of all i want to ask some questions for my understanding.
The name of your server is the one that you set in your /etc/sysconfig/network file is it?

Second if after changing my hostname when i create new user in linux then what mail address it is holding. Means if i change my hostname to voicemail.netkarachi.com and then create user basit then basit address is basit@voicemail.netkarachi.com is it?

Third if i want to send mail to basit then i send it to basit@voicemail.netkarachi.com or at what address?

Fourth if i want to know what mail server i am using how can i find it means sendmail or my atmail own mail server or whatever?

Now i want to tell you that what i want to do please give me hint that how can i do it using this domain name ,ok, please, i am so frustrate because i am not able to send email to another server.

I have an atmail(Client + Server) installed on my server whose Ip is 38.105.84.66 and i want to send mail to basit that i defined on voicemail.netkarachi.com server whose Ip is 202.5.145.100.

Now using above settings when i send mail to basit@nethyderabad.com i encounter an error
all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts

but i want to send mail to basit@voicemail.netkaarchi.com (i think)

oh my God what i do, please tell me because i know its so simple, it's just a matter of configure some files only please help me please

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Let's try to answer your questions
1. Yes, but that name is known locally to the machine. If you use a dns server to access your box, then the hostname is the one provided by dns
2. Unless you are using masquerading, yes the from: address will be the one you mentioned.
3. Depends on the configuration. Locally you can use just the username. Remotely you're using the mx record of the user's domain.
4. Usually you can telnet on port 25 and look at the response. Many mail servers give their name and maybe the version.

I don't know how atmail works, so I cannot help you on this. But for sendmail that I assume runs on voicemail.netkarachi.com (202.5.145.100), you must define the domains it can accept mail (it's done in (/etc/mail/local-host-names). For your domain, it looks like the MX server is mail.nethyderabad.com, which cannot be resolved:
Code:
dig mx nethyderabad.com

; <<>> DiG 9.6.1 <<>> mx nethyderabad.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 48754

You need to add an A record for mail.nethyderabad.com. in the zone file you've posted, so your MX can be resolved.
But first of all you must resolve the problem with the zone netkarachi.com, as the authoritative dns for nethyderabad.com is voicemail.netkarachi.com, that cannot be resolved also!!!!

Glad to see you've sorted out the dns errors

Now regarding your new question, you can use procmail (create a file .procmailrc in the user's homedir), to save the mails where you want, dependig on the attachment type.
Use this perl script that can save the attachment where you want (e.g. change TEMPDIR to /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/brights/220/INBOX) and this .procmailrc to filter only the wav files:
Code:
:0 B:
* ^Content-Type: .*;$[ ]*(file)?name=\"?.*\.(wav)\"?$
|/path/to/script.pl

Hi ,
Thank you very much.Just confirm me i m doing right or not. You say create .procmailrc fille in user's home dorectory. Means in the /home/kashif/mail/ or just /home/kashif folder which also contain some files like .bash_history, .bash_logout, .bash_profile and other files also. The /home/kashif/mail/ is empty.

Second after creating the file in the targeted folder that is i think is one of the above mentioned path, copy the script in the file and changes the $TMPDIR which is in the original script is pointing to "/var/spool/mail/MIME" changes to "/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/220/INBOX", then in the /etc/aliases file define detach: |"/your/path/to/script/unmime", means if i create my file in the /home/kashif/mail/ directory then it should be like detach: |"/home/kashif/mail/file.procmailrc" in the /etc/aliases. Can you please tell me that where i define this line means anywhere in the aliases file or in a particular place in the file.

Third can you please tell me what is this code means where i put this code that you have posted i mean this
Code:
:0 B:
* ^Content-Type: .*;$[ ]*(file)?name=\"?.*\.(wav)\"?$
|/path/to/script.pl
Thank you. Sorry for asking so much questions
Thanks in advance
