**My setup:**
----------------
* **Network:** Low spec vps server,
* **Mail server**: postfix + dovecot + mysql,
* **OS**: ubuntu 16.04 (to be upgraded once mail config is complete).
I have a single domain (call it
mydomain1.com
) successfully configured for sending/receiving email. I achieved this by following one of the many guides available through an internet search.
Now I have a second domain (call it mydomain2.com
) I'd like to include on the same VPS server (same IP address), and the same email service.
I'm currently working out how to configure this 2nd domain within the existing setup, from DNS settings to postfix
, dovecot
, mysql
and virtual mailbox OS-level folder structure.
What DNS records are needed to ensure POP3 delivery from external mail senders succeeds?
Currently:
* mydomain1.com
is working (receiving and sending)
* mydomain2.com
is not working (sending but not receiving)
* Only email sent from mydomain1.com
is arriving at mydomain2.com
addresses.
* The 'returned to sender' error msg says:
: host C.secondary-mx.nl[00.000.00.00] said: 550 Unknown
user. Unrouteable address (in reply to RCPT TO command)
