mail server can only send

hi. i have a server with virtualmin and i did setup a virtualserver. i did setup an email account which it can send but it cannot receive emails. the message that bounces back to the sender is: This is the mail system at host dale.xyzv.tk.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.

               The mail system

<joe.xyzv@dale> (expanded from joe@xyzv.tk): Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=dale type=AAAA: Host not found

Final-Recipient: rfc822; joe.xyzv@dale Original-Recipient: rfc822;joe@xyzv.tk Action: failed Status: 5.4.4 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=dale type=AAAA: Host not found

Hi,

Have you correctly setup an MX record for the domain? Without an MX record, which in turn points to a valid A record you won't be able to receive email for the domain.
