Hi there,

The problem doesn't appear to be on your system, but at the The PINNACLEBUILDER.COM domain.

A DNS query to get the mail records for this domain fails, and the name servers for this domain (ns1.ipowerdns.com and ns1.ipowerweb.com) don't seem to respond to queries normally at the moment. (just checked from here)

I'd leave the message in the queue.. it will be dropped automatically if the remote problem persists.

Cheers,
Wout

Hi,
It looks like that your sending domain "PINNACLEBUILDER.COM" is not working.because in DNS lookup it didnt find that domain.So it will be better to send mail to other domain address and check that mail is going or not.And query that domain using nslookup command.

Thanks & Regards

Shalom,

Additional to what I said in your other thread.

It is not necessary to actually run the sendmnail daemon to send mail. You can just have cron, run the sendmail queue runner once in a while.

Hi Aravindh,

I tried to query this domain is not working. So it is nothing wrong with your sendmail but domain itself

nslookup -q=mx pinnaclebuilder.com
it shows non-existent domain

example:-
# nslookup -q=mx microsoft.com

looking up FILES
Trying DNS
Non-authoritative answer:
microsoft.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = maila.microsoft.com
microsoft.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailb.microsoft.com
microsoft.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mailc.microsoft.com

Authoritative answers can be found from:
maila.microsoft.com internet address = 131.107.115.212
maila.microsoft.com internet address = 205.248.106.64
mailb.microsoft.com internet address = 131.107.115.215
mailb.microsoft.com internet address = 205.248.106.30
mailc.microsoft.com internet address = 131.107.115.214
mailc.microsoft.com internet address = 205.248.106.32
