Re: [IMail Forum] Duplicate Host Name

[Kevin Rogers]

Though we never setup our IMail server this way, for some reason we have TWO hosts with the same name.

Under localhost, there is "DomainName.com" and "DomainName." (there is a period at the end of the host name).

They both have the same top directory, the same Official Host Name, TCP/IP Address and both are connected to the same external database (MSSQL).
When we try to get rid of one (delete it), it reappears after we reboot the application. So my first question is: how do get rid of this duplicate?

I heard this could cause some problems. The main problem we are having is that some of our users cannot send email to certain domains. After checking the log files, the error that is generated on this aborted messages is error 550 Unknown Host and this is lists *our* domain name. I'm not sure if this means it doesn't "know" our domain (which would be odd) or if it is just specifying which domain we are talking about.

At any rate - thanks in advance.
