actually this is for first domain hosted site ip address



If i send mail to outside means it showing error like

Status=bounced (host 202.137.236.12[202.137.236.12] said: 550 Requested actions not taken: mailbox unavailable for the user sending the mail (in reply to RCPT TO command))

Hi Senthilv,

This does not look like fetchmail has anything to do with your question :-)
The host (relay host?) receiving your mail bounces it because it thinks the sender does not exit. This is an anti-spam measure: infected PC's cannot use this mailserver to send mass-mail.
Is 202.137.236.12 (host-202-137-236-12.rediffdns.com) really your ISP's relayhost? I am more used to "smtp3.xxxxx.org" or "smtp.xxx.com" names.
Please check this.
Also you can enter the relay-host's name without the brackets, so "relayhost = smtp.rediffdns.com" would probably do the job.

Thanks for replay,
I have already used this smtp.XXXXXXX.com it also showing the same error .But this account is not in first domain , it is in second domain ie info@xxxxxxx.com .where as main.cf file only one relayhost is i mentioned ie first domain, how to mention second domain in relayhost

I am asking about how to mention these two domain... in postfix configuration for sending mail purpose......

Postfix does not have per-domain relay hosts. You need to use virtual transport maps.

As Hondeman already pointed out, you have errors that go beyond this. The hosts that you are trying to use are not valid relay hosts or you have not properly authenticated to them.
