Adding Email accounts

[Nixforce]

Invalid domain eastcoastrecruitment.co.za, and/or not discoverable in DNS.

This is a error message i get when creating a email account on postfix admin .

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty self-explanatory: the domain eastcoastrecruitment.co.za does not exist.

Aha!

Your mail server doesn't have a MX record.


$ dig mail.eastcoastrecruitment.co.za PTR

; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P3 <<>> mail.eastcoastrecruitment.co.za PTR
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

and it doesn't have a PTR record either.
