Sendmail and DNS! Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Message-ID: <848099324.24875@dejanews.com> Reply-To: exuviae@intersurf.com Organization: Deja News Usenet Posting Service X-Article-Creation-Date: Fri Nov 15 23:25:13 1996 GMT X-Originating-IP-Addr: 206.124.201.38 () X-Authenticated-Sender: exuviae@intersurf.com Lines: 39 I am having a major problem with DNS and sendmail, from a local machine, you can send and recieve mail, there is a pop3 server running, and from the lan or dial-up you have no problem sending or recieving mail if your DNS is set to our server. So whats the problem right?? you can send mail out, but no mail comes in!!! if you try to send mail to the site, it bounces back to sender i don't know what the problem is. When i do an nslookup of mail.trans-actions.com, you get mail.trans-actions.com 206.124.201.2..great, but when you nslookup from another server outside of our lan to the same machine you get nothing.. We switched form linux red hat, to Freebsd recently, and i had to redo everything, the original linux machine was called roger.trans-actions.com with the same ip of 206.124.202.2. so i tried setting the machine up with the same hostname, but i got bad value. to bypass that i did a : roger.trans-actions.com IN CNAME secure.trans-actions.com that works local, but the other nslookups from other servers won't see the mail.trans-actions.com OR secure.trans-actions.com. To Further clear this up, i am willing to E-Mail all of the DNS config files to anyone that thinks they have or can get the answer, if you find the answer to this i WILL give a REASONABLE REWARD of your choice, this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as ALL of our clients are unable to get mail right now!!!!!
