Hey all, I am running a couple wooody boxes. I've got mail.foo.com and host.foo.com. Anyone in the outside world can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it gets there directly. But if someone is on the mailserver (mail.foo.com), or is sending through it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it doesn't go through.
Sometimes there is just a general "local configuration error" (on mail.foo.com) while doing the relay=host.foo.com piece (from the logs)... Sometimes it will have the "loops back to me" error. I am a bit confused. Most of the help out there refers to when you _want_ mail.foo.com to recieve mail for and act as host.foo.com, but this isn't the case here. There is a valid dns entry for host.foo.com, and it is its own MX. (Thouhg there is not a valid PTR record) Mail.foo.com is also a caching nameserver, and the actual machine for host.foo.com is behind a firewall, but it is getting port 25 pushed through just fine (as I said mail from places like gmail gets to [EMAIL PROTECTED] just fine). host.foo.com does not show up anywhere in any of the sendmail configuration files, but mail.foo.com is set up to relay for ".foo.com" But I don't think that is the issue. If I "listen" (read: tcpdump) on the mailserver I can tell it is asking for host.foo.com's MX, and it looks like it is finding it correctly (host.foo.com). I have tried sending the mail through sendmail -d and haven't seen anything odd (at least not in comparison to sending mail to a known working address). Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Shane -- ************************************************************************* Shane Liebling Systems Administrator and SAGE Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cryptio.net/~shane/ ************************************************************************* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
