If it's not one thing it's another. <sigh>
After I fiddled with my BIND db files settings, mail had still been
coming in ok, but now if I send mail to the BBS I get a message back
like the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Thu, 4 Jan 1996 14:09:28 +0900
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON@tao.gnj.or.jp>
Subject: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 1
To: <doug@gol1.gol.com>
The original message was received at Thu, 4 Jan 1996 14:09:27 +0900
from gol1.gol.com [202.243.48.4]
----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
"| /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -user michael" (unrecoverable error)
(expanded from: <michael@gnj.or.jp>)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 "| /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -user michael"... unknown mailer error 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, on the FreeBSD console, the following error message
simultaneously appears:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
tao sendmail[772]:NOQUEUE:SYSERR(root):My host name (tao) not known to
DNS:Name Server:localhost.inJapan.net not found.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
But inside the DNS data file db.inJapan I have an IN A record for
localhost and can enter the command
ping localhost.inJapan.net
and get returns.
What has happened? The outgoing e-mail from the BBS is working ok, but
the incoming has stopped. (;_;)
Does anybody have any advice?
Doug@running to Kinokuniya to buy "sendmail"
