Hi to all,

I too am having the same problems with Bind and Domainkeys.  I have been
using the toaster for years, then my system died.  I built a new box, fresh
install of CentOS 4.3 then the Qmailtoaster.  All went beutifully!  I have
Apache handling several domains, Samba on the local lan, and Qmail for
handling clients email via Outlook & Outlook Express through the web side.
My problem is not being able to receive email from an external source.  All
of the qmail emails can send and receive between each other both locally and
externally.  I can send to an outside email address, but that external email
can not reply to the local sending email.  About 48hrs later the external
email gets an error reply with an error 5xx.

I guess I have 2 questions.  1) What files EXACTLY need to have the modified
Bind DNS entries, what about hosts, tcp etc?  An example would be nice.  2)
I have several domains on the same server (not a lot), are there any special
considerations I should know with DNS or Bind?

Thanks in advance,
Bill Campbell

You should set up a *caching* (only) nameserver on the toaster, either
djbdns *or* bind.

I disagree with Per's opinion regarding bind.
# yum install bind bind-chroot caching-nameserver
is all you should need to do to get it going. There is no configuration
required for bind's caching nameserver.

I do agree, however, that djbdns would be easier if you were to run an
authoritative nameserver. You don't want/need an authoritative nameserver
though, as your web hosting company is doing that for you.

In order to use domainkeys, you'll need to be able to get them to add the
appropriate TXT records to their DNS server(s) for your domain. You should
probably have them add a TXT record for SPF too. Otherwise, the receiving
mail servers would have no way of verifying your DK signature.
