Hi all,
Another CNAME query. Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] fails from qmail sites with
the following message:-
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at hotmail.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Whereas, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets through ok. Our DNS is set up
as follows
@ IN MX 5 liddell.cstr.ed.ac.uk.
IN MX 8 mailrelay.ed.ac.uk.
with the following entries for liddell...
liddell IN A 129.215.91.1
liddell IN A 129.215.41.124
The qmail FAQ states that CNAME lookup failures are a result of nameservers
being down - but I've tried mailing to our site from qmail sites many times
when the nameserver has definitely been up and it always fails. Is there
something wrong with my DNS...? liddell is the router, nameserver and mailer
for our site.
Murray.
