Howdy,
    Whenever I try to send an email thru courier-esmtpd via Outlook Express
(& maybe other mail clients) esmtpd denies it with:

Nov 25 10:25:56 [courieresmtpd] error,relay=xx.xx.xx.xx,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 
517-Domain does not exist: xxxxxx.com.
Nov 25 10:25:56 [courieresmtpd] error,relay=xx.xx.xx.xx,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 517 
Invalid domain, see <URL:ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1035.txt>

Which is very bizzarro for several reasons:

- That domain it's complaining about is hosted by the same machine courier
    esmptd is running on
- The domain is listed in /etc/hosts

Courier does not read /etc/hosts. Courier requires a valid DNS server, listed in resolv.conf.

Where the monkey else does this domain need to exist for courier esmtpd
to allow it???????????????

In DNS.
