Err, i broke it? Welcome Mail sending fails..

[Andrax]

Ok, so i've a brand new server setup and ready to go. Only problem is that when i'm testing new account creations, the welcome mail fails to send...

This is the first part of the message that is generated and returned to me.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

xxxe@xxxxx.net
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<xxxxe@xxxxx.net>:
host mail.xxxxx.net [xxx.51.150.xx]: 553 5.1.8 <xxxe@xxxxx.net>... Domain of sender address webadmin@www1.andraxnetwork.com does not exist

Now, this server is not in production yet, and andraxnetwork.com's dns is presently not pointing to this new box. Is that the only problem here? Or does it run deeper then that?

The server name for this box is www1.andraxnetwork.com...

Check the error lost in /var. That might help, post anything unusual.
