-38 Err_no_domain Unable To Know Server Domain, -38 ERR_NO_DOMAIN Unable to know server

[LordLobby]

Hi, I'm new to xmailserver and I have just installed it in a XEN DomU. So far so good. I have checked that all the IP traffic reaches the XEN DomU by sending some test mails and using telnet to connect to the box.

If I want to telnet to the xmailserver machine I get the error message shown in the subject. If I sent testmails the mails are sent but never reach the user's inbox. And I don't get any message back that something went wrong.

What does the above error message exactly mean? Which server domain does it refer to?

- sender domain?
- receiver domain?
- xmailserver machine domain?

What does xmailsever try to do that this error message is showing up? What do I need to do to fix it?

[update] I have the feeling it could be a missing DNS PTR entry. But for wich domain is rDNS request executed?

Hi, well since this error is stopping me to use Xmail and no-one seems to know what it's about I have to abandon XMail and go with Exim or so.

Sorry for that, as Xmail looks promising but fighting problems alone in a production environment is not a good idea.

It cannot init the SMTP session, because there is no SmtpServerDomain or RootDomain set in your server.tab
