non delivered email messages

1) my wordpress can not send emails. It says SENDMAIL was wrong or not available. 2) Some customers don't get emails from my server after placing orders (opencart). I went to roundcube where I found many emails rejected by the recepient server with this message in it...

USER@comcast.net>: host mx2.comcast.net[76.96.40.147] said: 550 5.1.0 Invalid sender domain (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

thank you! Gabriele

What distribution are you using? Are you using Virtualmin? Do you have Postfix installed?

If Ubuntu/Debian and Postfix is available: What output do you get for the command hostname and hostname -f? What's in your file /etc/mailname? What's the output of postconf -n?

(When you post shell listings, please enclose them in [code][/code] tags.)

Okay, the hostname results are probably your problem. Your system needs an externally resolvable valid FQDN (fully qualified domain name). hostname should return something like "myserver", and hostname -f should return "myserver.mydomain.com".

Otherwise when destination mailservers try to check the domain of the delivering system, they stumble over the invalid hostname you have now and refuse mail.

You need to get a valid FQDN and assign it properly to your server. Unfortunately I don't know which files to edit under CentOS for that (Ubuntu/Debian guy myself), but Eric should know.

You should also properly configure the reverse DNS entry for your server, so that your IP resolved to the hostname your Postfix presents. This is usually done at your hoster's control panel.

Yes I have Postfix installed and I set the "What domain to use in outbound mail" to "Use domainname" I am hosting more than one domain.

Eric where are you? :)

Howdy,

To set your hostname, you can use Webmin for that. Just click Webmin -> Networking -> Network Configuration -> Hostname and DNS Client.

Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=localdomain.localdomain type=AAAA: Host not found

Howdy,

You may want to make sure your hostname exists on the "mydestination" line of /etc/postfix/main.cf. If you modify that file, make sure you restart Postfix afterwards.

You can use the email logs in /var/log/maillog to assist you in tracking down any problems if you continue to have issues.

Ok this is getting heavy for me...

I have changed the hostname to gggroup

hostname = gggroup

then I added the domain name to the /etc/sysconfig/network so... HOSTNAME=gggroup.gggroup.biz

I restarted the network

hostname -f results in

hostname: Unknown host

I can reach my website via browser through my IP address.

Eric, please help me out. My email system is completely down. thanks a lot

this is what I get when I send email to any of the addresses hosted on my server
