I had a strange problem with my several email accounts in Linux server.

It seems that all other domains and its email accounts work fine, but several other domains and its email account didn't work, which these non-working domain account set up in one day by our system administrator.

We suggested many times why these email accounts didn't work, just no answers or no correction.

I took a look at his email account setting. There are virtualtable and sendmail.cw which contain these email account. All domain accounts' setting looks same. These domain's URL and FTP all works.

Have any people here can give me some suggestion, how I should do in order to get these domain account working right ? Is any other place I need to take a look at?

It is very frustrated.

Thanks a lot,
 
I have 2 questions:

1. Was the makemap command run after adding them to virtusertable?

2. Was sendmail restarted after making the changes to sendmail.cw? It could also be that sendmail is looking for /etc/mail/local-host-names.
 
Any chance he forgot to create an MX record for these domains?
 
Thank for your response. We didn't run makeup after made alternation.

Our account has been working now.

Thanks.
