This question has come up before on this list but I have not been able
to find a clear answer in the archives.
I tried to mail a friend at domain that only had an MX record.
i.e.
#nslookup -query=A site1.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost can't find site1.com: Non-existent host/domain
# nslookup -query=mx site1.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
site1.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = mailin1.site2.com
site1.com preference = 15, mail exchanger = mailin2.site2.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
site1.com nameserver = ns1.site2.com
site1.com nameserver = ns2.site.com
site1.com nameserver = ns3.site2.com
ns1.site2.com internet address = 207.xxx.aaa.43
ns2.site2.com internet address = 204.xxx.bbb.3
ns3.site2.com internet address = 207.xxx.ccc.5
So when I mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the class delivery failure:
....: failure: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_site1.com>._(#5.1.2)/
So.... my question is:
Is it my qmail configuration that is at fault or is my friends DNS entry
all buggered. It would seen that qmail did not get to the MX record to
find the right delivery address.
I have no entries in the smtproutes file. I tried puting a manual
route for site1.com:mailin1.site2.com but go a relay failure.
So what gives?
Thanks for the help.
Anthony
