[cobalt-users] Need some Zone Record/Mail Problem help here.

[Jason Gottschalk <Jason@xxxxxxx>]

Hello cobalt-users,

  This is complicated in my eyes, so I'll try to be complete.

  I have several virtual accounts at 209.15.182.23

  Some of these notes may not be relevant, I'll let you determine
  that, I present them here in case they provide insight for you to
  help diagnose my problem.

  These are a couple of the accounts using the above IP as a virtual
  server.

  jasonandsarah.com
  drcbrieden.com
  heidebreicht.com

  All mail sent to any virtual server at 209.15.182.23 has a header
  that looks like this:
        Received: from jason.syoinc.com ( [*ipaddress*])
        by www.heidebreicht.com (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id gA4DdLa24488
        for <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Mon, 4 Nov 2002 08:39:21 -0500  



Why is 'heidebreicht.com' listed in there?
        



 And this mail will fail with this message if sent from any account
 other than those that share the same IP address above.

       The original message was received at Mon, 4 Nov 2002 08:18:09 -0500
       from 63-215-165-9.digitalrealm.net [63.215.165.9]

       ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
       <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
       (reason: 553 5.3.0 <Jason@xxxxxxx>... No such user here)

       ----- Transcript of session follows -----
       ... while talking to mail.drcbrieden.com.:
       >>> MAIL From:<Jason@xxxxxxx> SIZE=169
       <<< 553 5.3.0 <Jason@xxxxxxx>... No such user here
       501 5.6.0 Data format error


If YOU sent a message to chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, you would get the above
failure notice.  If I send it from jasonandsarah.com, it will go
through.


I was asked to make a cname entry and mx change to the
heidebreicht.com zone record and I think this may be when the mail got
goofy, here is that zone record:

$origin heidebreicht.com.
@       IN      SOA     ns.hosting4u.net. jason@xxxxxxxx (
                                2001051605              ; Serial
                                10800           ; Refresh, seconds
                                3600            ; Retry, seconds
                                604800          ; Expire, seconds
                                86400)          ; Minimum TTL, seconds
                IN      NS      ns.hosting4u.net.
                IN      NS      ns2.hosting4u.net.
                IN      MX      10 mail.heidebreicht.com.
                IN      A       209.15.182.23
$ORIGIN heidebreicht.com.
mail.heidebreicht.com.          IN      A       208.1.221.18
smtp.heidebreicht.com.          IN      A       209.15.182.23
www.heidebreicht.com.           IN      CNAME   nitra.chevydealer.com.
ftp.heidebreicht.com.           IN      A       209.15.182.23
*.heidebreicht.com.             IN      A       209.15.182.23




In summary, all the vserver accounts at 209.15.182.23 cannot get mail
from outside that server.

Error messages come back with www.heidebreicht.com in the header.

Mail accounts in different domains on the same server can talk to each
other.

I made a zone record change for www.heidebreicht.com last week, I
think this is when it all got goofy.


Can someone see a problem here?
