Hi there,

I have a BQ machine (nuonce installer), and I am having an issue with
1 domain only....

For some reason when you email the users under this one domain, I gt returned:

<xxxx (at mark) xxxxxx.org>: host mail.xxxxxx.org[64.40.109.2] said: 550 5.1.1
    <xxxx (at mark) xxxxxx.org>... User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Now I do know in fact that the user does exist. There was something
funny with this domain earlier, and when I tried to delete it (with
the intent of recreating it) - I got an error along the likes of
"missing the alias map for dom.com..." - so i got that one sorted out
by deleting my .DB files in /etc/mail and then running make again.
This was the procedures I found listed on the nuonce forums. So I did
that, then deleted my domain and recreated it. And now the current
issue is happening.

I have restarted sendmail many times, etc with no effect on this issue.


So I had a look at:

 cat /etc/mail/virtusertable | grep mydom.org



apache (at mark) www.mydom.org apache
sys (at mark) www.mydom.org    sys
MAILER-DAEMON (at mark) www.mydom.org  MAILER-DAEMON
root (at mark) www.mydom.org   root
nobody (at mark) www.mydom.org nobody
majordomo (at mark) www.mydom.org      site43-majordomo
majordomo-owner (at mark) www.mydom.org        site43-majordomo-owner
owner-majordomo (at mark) www.mydom.org        site43-owner-majordomo
 (at mark) mydom.org   %1 (at mark) www.mydom.org
@www.mydom.org       error:nouser No such user here
user1 (at mark) www.mydom.org       user1
dom-admin-user (at mark) www.mydom.org       dom-admin-user
user2 (at mark) www.mydom.org       user2

Seems pretty normal.

And then had a look at:

cat /etc/mail/access | grep mydom.org
### Start Block Email for User: dk-sit on Virtual Site: www.mydom.org ###
dk-sit (at mark) mydom.org             ERROR:5.1.1:550 User unknown

### END Block Email for User: dk-sit on Virtual Site: www.mydom.org ###

### END Block Email for Virtual Site: w.mydom.org ###

### END Block Email for User: dom-admin-user on Virtual Site: www.mydom.org ###

Again looks ok.

And then:

 cat /etc/ mail/local-host-names | grep mydom.org
mydom.org
www.mydom.org

Am I missing something?
