Mail forwarding problem
« on: February 26, 2020, 01:48:58 PM »
So I created an email forward rule on a domain from control panel.  Then I deleted the forwarding rule.  Now all incoming emails are rejected on that one domain even though there are no forwarding rules.

I tried rebuilding mail server, problem persists.

The above code is a successful mail delivered from the same server but to a different domain on the same server as rosinto.com.  Problem is only one domain email.......rosinto.com  All others work.. It is not a problem of the sender, it is a problem of the receiver.

I am going to delete the domain and add it again.  That will most likely fix it.  But this all started after I created a forwarding rule and then deleted it.  It has to be connected to the forwarding.

update.  deleted and created new domain and still the same error message.  Very puzzling.

Error message above on failed email delivery cites 192.168.0.8.  Thats my local ip.  Can a development lamp on my desktop be behind this?

Ok.  I removed rosinto from server 1 and moved it to server #2 and created the same email account.

So I tried sending an email from server#2 2019@lakeservers.com (as before) to simhof@rosinto.com (now on server #2). 

Result: success.  But there still seems to be a problem with server #1.  This is unquestionably tied to the alias/forwarding that I created.  It was only after creating and deleting the alias that the sheet hit the fan.  I suppose I could recreate the same scenario now on server #2 to see if I can show that it is the problem.  But I have already f'ed up server 1.  So I dont think I will do that.  I will leave it to the developers.

Although I couldnt not send mail from server 2 to the one domain rosinto.com on server 1, gmail could, as well as form email from server 1, which further complicates the troubleshooting.
