Hi All,
I am a novice in networking and recently I have started to do this webmastering stuff out of my interest.
I have configured my users and email in the Virtualmin/Webmin interface. I have got no problem in sending email to external mailserverz (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo) but couldn’t receive emails.
I have also done the zone configuration in Bind DNS section by looking at one of the documentation online.
Please find my zone records below,
example.com Master
Mail server:
example.com. Default 10 mail.example.com.
A record:
example.com. Default xx.xxx.xxx.xx
mail.example.com. Default xx.xxx.xxx.xx
ftp.example.com. Default xx.xxx.xxx.xx
ns1.example.com. Default xx.xxx.xxx.xx
ns2.example.com. Default xx.xxx.xxx.xx
www.example.com. Default xx.xxx.xxx.xx
Name server record:
example.com. Default example.com.
example.com. Default ns1.example.com.
example.com. Default ns2.example.com.
The following command results is,
host -t MX example.com
example.com mail is handled by 10 mail.example.com.
My SMTP test in wormly results in the following output,

SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
220 example.com ESMTP Postfix
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
250-example.com

But http://www.intodns.com/example.com came up with following errors,
-
Oh well, I did not detect any MX records so you probably don’t have any and if you know you should have then they may be missing at your nameservers!
-
ERROR: Looks like you have less than 2 nameservers. According to RFC2182 section 5 you must have at least 3 nameservers, and no more than 7. Having 2 nameservers is also ok by me.
-
ERROR: looks like you have lame nameservers. The following nameservers are lame:
-
You should already know that your NS records at your nameservers are missing, so here it is again: ns1-cloud.eleven2.com. ns2-cloud.eleven2.com.
-
No valid SOA record came back!
Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.
