Thank you to all that have responded so far. Let me answer a couple of other points that have been brought up.
Gerald: The primary domain tied to the server is wrenbeck.com. I am also hosting a couple of other sites including planetcycle.com I am using the DNS services provided by register, dns11.register.com and dns12.register.com. I know that something is not correct, but I don't know what, hence my posting on this mail list. Somewhere between the configuration of the router and the raq3. Gerald/David: My MX records on register used to point to a server named "eww.wrenbeck.com", which was the name of my nt/domino mail server. I removed that reference when I put the raq up. Mail was working until a few days ago. Does my raq need an mx record in its dns task that points to itself? Thanks again, Ed. My original posting: ***************************************** Hello all, Disclaimer: I am new to the world of Cobalt and Linux/UNIX in general, so please excuse any demonstrated stupidity. I am having a problem with Sendmail on my Raq3. Everything was working great until a recent power loss/dsl loss. (I live in a new sub) The server had been up and running for more than a month prior to that. One concern that I have is that I may have changed a configuration a while ago that did not take effect until the reboot. After the power loss, the server came back up on its own, with the dsl still out. After dsl service was restored, the server was not accepting email or serving pages. I rebooted the server again, and it now is serving fine, but mail is still broken. When sending mail into the server, I get the following error: Connected to 216.36.86.161 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist When sending mail out from the server, I get this message: 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Host unknown (Name server: yahoo.com: no data When I try to download my pop mail, I don't receive any errors. I just don't get any messages of course, since nobody can email me. I verified that the pop connection is working by sending an internal email and then downloading it through my pop client. My configuration is this: DSL Router to internet on static ip address. router acting as NAT device, routing typical web port traffic to raq3 (ports 80, 443, 21, 23, 25, 110). Raq3 has static internal address. My domains are registered through register.com I have two A record entries, mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com pointed at my static ip. I got rid of the cname records and mx records after migrating off my nt/domino mail server. This solved my first problem with getting mail routing to work a month ago. The raq is currently not running the dns server task, although I've tried it both ways in an attempt to get this working. The email task has the domain names in the "relay hosts" field and www.domain.com in the "host/alias" field. The "relay hosts" field also contains the internal ip of the raq, and the external ip address. There is nothing in the "reject" field. Sorry if this message is long, but I'm hoping to give a clear picture of my environment. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.
