Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Not able to send mail on my company's account but gmail in Linux 6.8 Post 302993280 by drysdalk on Wednesday 8th of March 2017 09:01:06 AM

Hi,

The excerpt of /var/log/maillog which you posted showed the message being passed from your own system, to another system. You now need to log on to that other system (the one whose IP I've now removed from the previous post, as per your request), and see what it then did with the mail. If it's a UNIX-style system then it will most likely have a /var/log/maillog of its own. If it's something else (Microsoft Exchange, say) then it will have another mechanism for checking what happened to the mail.

E-mail delivery is a chain of events leading from the sending server all the way through to the server that finally knows what to actually do with the mail in question, often with other intermediary servers in between. You have to trace what happened to the mail at each step along its journey to its final destination to figure out why it's not been delivered. The logs on your own workstation won't be enough, since all they show is that your local MTA did its job, and passed the mail on to the server that it believed would know what to do with it next.
