550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable on OS X server 10.6
- by Marc Graham
I recently added a new domain to my mail server. I have 1 main server mail.example.com and several others that have the mx record pointing to mail.example.com. My two new domains have the mx record set correctly.
The issue I am experiencing is the 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable error but only when I send emails to accounts on the new urls from an external email account such as gmail. If i send an email to one of the newly made email addresses with the new url from an email account within the same server it delivers normally.
For example....
sending [email protected] to [email protected] receives 550 error
sending [email protected] to [email protected] works normal
here is a report from wormly.com with server and account names changed for obvious reasons
