Michael, I set up the /etc/tinydns-private/root/data file per your suggestion,
=localhost:127.0.0.1 .localhost:127.0.0.1:a .1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a .kroffts.home:127.0.0.1:a .1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a =markii.kroffts.home:192.168.1.254 =coventry.kroffts.home:192.168.1.1 It seems like I really need to have some entry for the dmz host to aid the reverse lookup that we saw qmail try to accomplish. Configuring it this way has not improved the situation. The pop3 client still times out. Additionally I revised all the references to kroffts.com to read kroffts.dmz on both the router and on the dmz host. I now find I have a few questions. I understand your comments about using the kroffts.com for the dmz net but now that I have begun reconfiguring I wonder how qmail will take a message addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and know to put it in the kkrofft user directory on kroffts.dmz. Mail.kroffts.com seemed more intuitive. I edited the qmail configs like so me kroffts.dmz rcpcthosts kroffts.dmz kroffts.com defaultdomain kroffts.dmz locals kroffts.dmz pop3d run file #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ kroffts.dmz /usr/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d \ Maildir 2>&1 Kory > >Indeed, that is a very serious problem -- not so much because qmail >requires a dns server (it does not); but, from tcpdump it is clear >that >it cannot find PTR for 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. > >In a previous message, you asked for comments on your >/etc/tinydns-private/root/data -- I strongly suggest that you try the >following, and forget about your DMZ for now: > >=localhost:127.0.0.1 >.localhost:127.0.0.1:a >.1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a >.kroffts.home:127.0.0.1:a >.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a > >=markii.kroffts.home:192.168.1.254 > >=coventry.kroffts.home:192.168.1.1 > >[EMAIL PROTECTED]:192.168.10.1:mail.kroffts.com >[EMAIL PROTECTED]::mail.kroffts.com > >The last two (2) lines are problematic.
