Pegasus Mail & Mercury

I set up my Mercury mail server and the Pegasus client, but I'm having trouble. I can send email but not receive it. When I send email to my test@example .com, I receive a '553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry' message. I do have a user test set up in Mercury. I tried setting Mercury to permit SMTP relaying of non-local mail, but that generates a 554 'too many hops error'.

 Please excuse my noobness, lol. 

I'll try to provide as much information as possible because I'm not sure what you'll need to help me. :)  

My setup

I have my own domain, and my MX record is pointing to my mailserver, set up like example.com. That record matches my 'Internet name for this system' in the Mercury Core Module Config, and the 'accounce myself as' in Mercury S SMTP server. My MercuryC client is properly configured through my ISP's SMTP server. 

I have the following modules installed: Mercury S, P, and C. I am using the most recent XAMPP distribution for Windows, and Mercury is a component included in that package.

 My problem

I can send emails to my gmail account using Pegasus, but when I reply to that email, I receive a message from 'mail delivery subsystem,' saying,

"--- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<example@example .com
   (reason: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry.)

  ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to example .com.:

Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry.
Last-Attempt-Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2008 16:50:50 -0500"

 

 The Mercury SMTP Server reports the following:

 

"Connection from 66.249.90.177, Sun (timestamp)
EHLO ik-out-1112.google.com

MAIL FROM: <myemail@gmail .com>

RCPT TO <example@example .com>

Relay attempt from: <myemail@gmail .com> to <example@example .com>

553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry. 

Quit"

My Mercury POP3 Server history only has listings from my IP address. One listing is added each time I check for mail with Pegasus.

 

I don't know what else to add. I've searched google and the forums and many other sources but I just can't figure it out. I'm sure I'm just making some noob mistake. I really appreciate any help you guys can give me, even if that is just a link to the proper FAQ page. 

 

It appears that the Configuration | Mercury core | Domains is messed up.  How about posting the [Domains] section of the mercury.ini file for review.  Provide the real data since any munging of the data will not allow up to properly analyze what's happening.

[Domains]
localhost: http://www.example.com
localhost: localhost.net
localhost: localhost.org
localhost: localhost.com

Thank you so much for your quick reply!

And sorry for the mungling of data on my original post, I'm not sure what stuff I need to conceal on public forums.

[Domains]
localhost: http://www.kadykinetic.com
localhost: localhost.net
localhost: localhost.org
localhost: localhost.com

 The http is an invalid domain.  I would use the following since both www.kadykinetic.com & kadykinetic.com are valid for the use in an email address sent to this host.  The [24.121.148.70] allows the user of user@[24.121.148.70] literal addressing as well.

[Domains]
localhost: www.kadykinetic.com
localhost: kadykinetic.com
localhost: [24.121.148.70]
localhost: localhost.net
localhost: localhost.org
localhost: localhost.com

Thomas R. Stephenson!

You are THE MAN! I am up and running now! I knew I was making some noob mistake.

I was inspired to post here by this thread, http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/7695.aspx, that I found by a google search when I first starting working on this problem. And it was you that had helped that thread's parent.

Thank you so much for your help!
