No Such User Here, of the root user

[kimxt]

Hi

Sorry if this is going the wrong place.

Dont know really how to put this. But my server is trying to send several mails from root user.
But when i run a "Mail Delivery Reports" its saying:

[email protected]
May 30, 2013 1:04:01 AM

[email protected]

No Such User Here

Seems like the user root dosent have a mail account or something?
This is happening every now and then, and i guess about 10 times every hour.

Can't find anything wrong in any logs, but dont know anything about this problem and dont know where to begin to look to be honest. I have been trying to google for some time, but cant figur out what this stuff is.

Seems its log mails, ban mails from firewall and other system mails root@ is trying to send me.


I have put a mail adress in "Edit System Mail Preferences" under root's mail, nobody's mail and cpanel's mail.


OR what else might be happening here, or be the problem?

Hello

Please check to see if the forwarding email address for root that you configured via "WHM Home » Server Contacts » Edit System Mail Preferences" is valid. Are you able to send emails to this address manually? You can also confirm that it's set properly by checking to see if it's populated in the following file:

# /root/.forward

In addition, check to make sure the hostname of the server resolves to the correct IP address.

Thank you.

"Please check to see if the forwarding email address for root that you configured via "WHM Home » Server Contacts » Edit System Mail Preferences" is valid"
All is correct there.

the code or file you gave me also give's me the correct e-mail.

"In addition, check to make sure the hostname of the server resolves to the correct IP address."
all there is as it should be.

Hello

I had a chance to review this ticket. I wanted to update this thread to note the issue was related to the domain name associated with the contact address being in the /etc/localdomains file. As email for this domain name is handled remotely, it had to be moved to the /etc/remotedomains file. This is completed by modifying the "Email Routing" settings in "WHM Home » DNS Functions » Edit DNS Zone" to "Remote Mail Exchanger".

I also wanted to answer an additional concern you mentioned. You asked if there was a method to control which alerts from cPanel are emailed to you. There is an option where many of these alerts can be modified. It's located at:

"WHM Home » Server Contacts » Contact Manager"

Keep in mind that some alerts (e.g. Process Usage reports from LFD) are the result of third-party applications, so you have to change their alert destinations manually.

Thank you.
