I’ve set up two LAMP Droplets with sendmail. One server is sending to the same domain that’s pointing to itself with no problem, however the other one will not send to the same domain as itself.
It’s giving an error of:
050 503-All RCPT commands were rejected with this error:
050 503-unknown user
I’ve set both droplets up in accordance to this guide using the droplet’s respective domains.
Is there something I’ve missed or is there an alternative?

I made this changes… But… not working for emails(same domains - another domains works)… Using external mx.
Hi!
It looks like Steve had the same issue, and so he included a solution under ATTENTION! READ THIS…. I’ll copy them here:
-
Edit
/etc/mail/sendmail.mcand add the following lines at the end:define(`MAIL_HUB', `domain.com.')dnl define(`LOCAL_RELAY', `domain.com.')dnlMake sure you including the trailing dot!
-
Run
sendmailconfigso that the changes take effect, and restartsendmailjust to be 100% sure:sudo sendmailconfig sudo service sendmail restart
Once you’ve done that, try sending an email to the same domain and you should see sendmail connecting to your domain’s incoming mailserver(s) in the log file.
