So if my server's local IP is 192.168.0.4 and I have simply installed
the DNS service, I can change Imail's SMTP settings to include
192.168.0.4 as one of my DNS servers?
I would use 127.0.0.1 as it speeds things up a bit opposed to using the
IP address.
In my Network Connection applet
in the control panel, I can also put 192.168.0.4 as my primary DNS IP?
(I also have 2 external ones from my ISP.) And I can do this without
adding any forward or reverse lookup zones?
Yes, you can do that. The caching dns server will find that netsol is
authoritative for your dns and end up querying the correct dns servers
for your domain.
On my old server, someone had setup a Forward Lookup Zone....
You can do this, but its not necessary.
Could this be the problem with not being able to reach certain domains
via SMTP (the other problem I posted earlier)? It seems like there was
domain name resolution, but our connection was being halted by the
recipient server - I'm not sure why DNS would be involved in that - just
checking.
No this would not be the issue since your logs show you connecting to
the server. However, as John suggested I would turn off all the DNS
caching that Imail does for the Queuemgr it causes a lot of problems.
