Hi eduardo,
thanks a lot for the feedback.

Although I didn't infer to those steps. I just made a test using a registered server with all the 3 steps succeeded, and got the follow log at "/var/log/mail.log"

what should i do, in order to have certainty, at least from my side(mail sender side), that the email arrives at its destiny?

it doesn't behave very nice, when i try to send to more than 2 emails.

It seems like your message is being sent without domain. Go to the site-map and ook at the parameters in the notifications package. Take a look at the BounceDomain parameter ot make sure your message is being sent with the domain you chose.

Check the acs-mail-lite parameters for the same domains, so you can make sure your messages get the right domain when they are sent.

Hi Eduardo,

you were correct! The DNS wasn't pointed to my server. Thanks a lot.

it's seems to be fixed. although at "/etc/log/error.log", i noticed some errors when added a large number of emails at once.

somehow the emails weren't sent, got stuck at the queue, some didn't arrive.

This is another old bug. When you have an invalid mail address in the queue, it stucks the line and no other messages are sent. Take a look at the acs_mail_lite_queue table, wich is the one that stores the messages to be sent. There shouldn't be any messages there, so if there are some you have an invalid mail address in the queue.

Check the to_addr column and erase the message with the wrong address. It'll probably work for you.
