I can't get emails to work :(

Hello i have been trying all day to get emails to work and I am totally lost.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE could some one help me.

I have set up a domain which is my own name rickyspires.co.uk and i would like to have an email address for that domain like mail@ or info@.

I have set up the domain and that all works. My droplet is called spangler1 and my login name has changed from root to rickyspires.

This is what i have tried.

I have followed this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdio_MMNqUE

• First login to the server rickyspires@spangler1:

• install postfix sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install postfix

• config the main.cf file cd /etc/postfix/ sudo nano main.cf

myhostname = rickyspires.co.uk virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases mydestination = rickyspires.co.uk, spangler1, ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local, localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all

sudo service postfix restart

• try sending a test email

rickyspires@spangler1:/etc/postfix$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1… Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is ‘^]’. 220 rickyspires.co.uk ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

mail to: spangler1@rickyspires.co.uk
501 5.5.4 Syntax: MAIL FROM:<address>

mail from: rickyspires@rickyspires.co.uk (root@rickyspires.co.uk) 250 2.1.0 Ok

rcpt to: spangler1@rickyspires.co.uk 550 5.1.1 spangler1@rickyspires.co.uk: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

!!! I GET AN ERROR HERE - the error wasnt there before ? But even when i didnt get the error at this point the emails would not send.

I get this… for example

From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Oct 21 07:17:27 2012 X-Original-To: rickyspires@ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local Delivered-To: rickyspires@ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2012 07:17:27 +0100 (BST) From: MAILER-DAEMON@ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local (Mail Delivery System) Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender To: rickyspires@ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local Auto-Submitted: auto-replied MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary=“DDE412BC182.1350800247/ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local” Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

ANY IDEAS ?
