My test messages are bouncing with the following error:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ip162.mydomain.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]>:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that
host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as
local. (#5.4.6)
This probably has something to do with the way qmail detected my
hostname compared to my DNS configuration:
MX 10 mail.mydomain.com.
mail CNAME myhostname
myhostname A myIP
ip162 A myIP
What would qmail like to see in the locals file? I tried replacing
ip162 with myhostname, as well as simply using mydomain, but in both
cases, ip162.mydomain.com appeared at the top of the bounce (above).
Where does it get that from?
Thanks again for any help offered.
Steven
