I have 3 servers right now, and all of them are setup to use mail.122media.com as the mail server. Is this the correct way to do it if I don’t actually have a dedicated mail.122media.com server?
I got a bounceback this morning (first one I’ve seen) that makes me wonder if something is setup incorrectly…haven’t messed with mail servers much though so I’m not sure where to start with Interworx/Mail?
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.122media.com.
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.

I’m sorry, I am not clear if you are using your own mail server, 1 of the IW servers as your mail server, how you have your 3 IW servers setup ie clustered or standalone
You need a mail server, could be 1 of your 3 IW servers if standalone or if clustered, this part is setup already
You then point your mx record to this mail server
If using 1 standalone mail server, not clustered, then you will need to add the email domains into the mail server for those held on the other 2 IW servers
Personally, I would cluster the IW servers as this is taken care off for you
Sorry, if your using a different external email provider, you just set the mx to their record eg google mail
Please remember to tell the siteworx accounts that you use external email from siteworx, administration email or you could set it to use external email from nodeworx, plugins, but any siteworx a accounts setup already would need checking
If this is how you use email, external provider, then the rejection of email is on their mail platform and not yours
Also, check RBL lists to make sure your server ip address are not blacklisted
I am hosting the mail myself, no external provider.
I have 3 VPS, so clustering is not an option. Right now I only use two of the servers for production, the 3rd is just a DNS only slave (doesn’t host any accounts, just used as a redundant DNS server). I just have default interworx installs on both of the other servers server1.122media.com and server2.122media.com. Both of them have mail.122media.com setup in the mail settings, but I don’t see any IP settings in the Mail section of nodeworx…so not sure what to do?
If default interworx assigns the server IP as the mail server IP, then I’m assuming each server is showing mail.122media.com as the mail server, but each has it’s own IP…which might be where the bounce came from?
Since I couldn’t possibly hope to recreate shared account emails myself on another server. How would this normally be setup? I guess instead of trying to have one mail.122media.com mail server I should have one for each server in that case (since they aren’t clustered?).
Good with lots of stuff, feel like a noob with mail though, lol.
[QUOTE=d2d4j;28926]Hi staxed
Many thanks
Your bounce is coming from your mail server
You have 2 IW servers (DNS slave will not hold siteworx accounts)
Let’s say your primary mail server is mail1 on IW1, with IW2 been your second standalone server, with mail pointed at IW1 server
When you setup a siteworx account in IW1, all email will work as normal
However, creating siteworx accounts on IW2, will not create email accounts on IW1
This is where your bounce is coming from
So, you will need to add the email accounts to IW1, so IW1 knows about these email accounts and works normally
Interestingly, you could add email domains as domain alias to qmail, as mheinden thread, which may work in your setup
