Hi all,
(Searchable archive at www.qmail.org is down.)
I'm having a problem with using qmail to send email to addresses
external to our domain. I've been running qmail for about a year
now and never noticed this before because we simply used it to
send mail locally within our ISP domain - which it did fine. However,
I've just installed ezmlm and subscribed some external email address
to various lists. I now notice that I get messages in SYSLOG such
as:
qmail: 932734110.641249 delivery 2: deferral:
Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
for every external email address (within our domain -
<name>@salford.ac.uk - everything is fine).
I've been told that I need to add a 'virtualdomains' file to
/var/qmail/control to list our SMTP server and to send all non-local
emails through that. Something like (I've been told):
:catchall
post.salford.ac.uk:
and that I must also recompile qmail after altering something in one
of the qmail source files. What this source file is and what I should
change I haven't a clue.
Any advice (will be much appreciated)?
