Changed Server Mail Not Working / dnsreport Error

[Frank_Rizzo]

I moved a site to a new server yesterday. Whilst web visitors are finding the new site, mail is not appearing.

Checking dnsreport shows this error:

-------------
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!

mail.mysite.co.uk.mysite.co.uk: Could not connect without glue or A record.
------------

Why does it say mail.mysite.co.uk.mysite.co.uk? Is that the problem?

In the DNS control panel it just says mail.mysite.co.uk

The only other thing I can think of is that the firewall I have set up is not configured correctly. Should there be a rule to allow mail in some way?

Note that the server mails out fine - formmail type scripts can mail out but I'm not receiving mail for [e-mail]

Centos4, Postfix, Procmail.

Try setting your MX/mailserver setting to either

mail

or

mail.mysite.co.uk.

(note the period at the end).

DNS zone files add the domain to the end of the name you specify, unless it ends in a period.

That's making a bit more sense now.

But a new error appears:

----------------
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!

mail.mysite.co.uk: Could not connect without glue or A record.
----------------

In the DNS control panel I have this:

Name, Type, Content
@ A 111.111.111.111
ftp CNAME mysite.co.uk.
www A 111.111.111.111

MX Records
mail.mysite.co.uk. 10

Does that look ok?

Obviously missing an A record for mail.mysite.co.uk!

Fixed now.

Cheers.
