I am trying to send mail to a localhost installation of postfix. 1) The localhost is a DHCP configured workstation. 2) The localhost workstation has no DNS entries because of (1). 3) I manually set the /etc/hosts file for the IP and hostname 4) hostname and dnsdomainname resolve correctly.
Mail is rejected at the localhost smtp server with the following in /var/log/mail.log: Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/pickup[2388]: B3972F82F: uid=1000 from=<tallison> Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/cleanup[2473]: B3972F82F: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/qmgr[2389]: B3972F82F: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=516, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/smtp[2475]: B3972F82F: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=2, status=bounced (Name service error for tacocat.net.sea.mail.core.tacocat.net: Host not found) Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/cleanup[2473]: D38D0F832: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/qmgr[2389]: D38D0F832: from=<>, size=2168, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 4 19:00:03 thorin postfix/smtp[2475]: D38D0F832: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (Name service error for tacocat.net.sea.mail.core.tacocat.net: Host not found) --------------- From this same box, I can do 'dig mx tacocat.net' and get a response. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
