[Dovecot] Issue with domains
I am running Dovecot 1.0.10 and have it working great on ender.ath.cx (my free DynDNS.com subdomain), but recently I registered lemcoe.com and pointed it to the same IP address as ender.ath.cx. The problem is, only e-mail sent to the @ender.ath.cx works. If it is send it to @lemcoe.com, I don't know where it goes. I get no errors either.
How can I get Dovecot to recognize both domains?
TIA.

What are you using as your MTA (i.e., which server is listening for
the incoming SMTP message)? Postfix? Sendmail?
Have you checked for errors at this level?

Dovecot is not the problem here. When you send an email to anyone@lemcoe.com, the sending MTA sends email to the MX server of lemcoe.com. Only in the case of an absent MX record will the MTA try delivering directly to lemcoe.com (i.e. the host itself, rather than its MX record).
% dig +short MX lemcoe.com 10 mail.lemcoe.com.
% host ender.ath.cx ender.ath.cx has address 76.240.25.136
% host mail.lemcoe.com mail.lemcoe.com has address 67.19.72.202
As you can see, the host that handles mail for lemcoe.com != 76.240.25.136.
