You certainly have that right. I wish we could have helped more, but honestly as far as I can tell this is a server issue. Best of luck.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

We had the same issure over at ours, and what we found out is that the server had been set up to not allow mail to be sent from user "nobody" and that is how VB tags the header, so.......... we enabled that function and POOF....all of our mails are going out as normal, without rejections.
Hope this helps!
The only inherent problem is if folks can hack into any types of other mailers like formmail, then they can send mail out as you since the nobody header is allowed.All who wander are not lost.

hrm, that sounds reasonable. I'll take a look at that and thanks for the information Illuvatar.

Hey mate...
I sent this to ya via pm, but I thought it may prove usefull to others here as well!
I checked with the folks that manage are server, and this is what they did.
If you are using WHM/Cpanel for yours, then under WHM you will find under "tweek settings", this optionPrevent the user 'nobody' from sending out mail to remote addresses (php and cgi scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using phpsuexec and suexec respectively.)

And that is a very helpful tip too. Thanks!
As a test I turned this on in my server's WHM, and sure enough emails immediately started bouncing with the 'unrouteable mail domain' error.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

So here I am, looking up keywords: "unrouteable mail domain" becase I am having EXACTLY the same problem. I have had my server for over a year now and suffer NO other email issues, but I just installed vBulletin and now, no mail!
My vBulletin mail is being sent out as "nobody", but nobody is disabled in cpanel and it should be. Is there any way to get vb to send from the user name that it's installed under? Has anyone set up and used phpsuexec? Unticking the cpanel nobody tweak took care of the issue, but I'm not convinced that it shouldn't be done a different way.
Incidently, many spam sensitive mail systems REJECT mail sent from nobody.
EDIT: found more info: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/archi...hp/t-6247.html
EDIT: Installed phpsuexec - all better now!Last edited by oldengine; Thu 11 Nov '04, 12:31pm.Comment

ive had this unchecked and it fixed allot of issues but
host mx2.hotmail.com [65.54.166.230]: 550 Requested action not taken:
mailbox unavailable
i still recieve.
edit
having read that nobody comes up as spam on filters, including hotmail, isnt there a way of registering it as something else like ragezone rather than nobody...........
6663 7440KB nobody
1694 4867KB ragezone
1236 2452KB mailnull
42 137KB root
and in the errors
x@hotmail.com R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp:
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:
host mx2.hotmail.com [65.54.166.230]: 550 Requested
