email error

[jvels]

Hi

When I try to send a mail to my server I got this error:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  test@test.DOMAIN.dk
    The mail server could not deliver mail to test@test.DOMAIN.dk.  The account or
domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns
entries.

THe funny is I get this error when I try to send from a webmail (my ISP), when I try to send a mail to my zimbra mail test@test.DOMAIN.dk then I do not get any error and the mail is incomming.... is it something wrong on my server??

From outside your network run:
dig mx test.domain.dk

If you are behind a NAT device then you will need a Split DNS set-up.

Hi

Yes im behind a nat router....

But is it strange that if I send from a hotmail email, then the mail was delivered... and if I send from a email from my ISP then i got the error.... is that becase the dns problem??
