DO NOT TRY INSTALLING QMAIL ON MANDRAKE
Hi everybody. I tried and tried to install QMAIL 1.03 on Mandrake7.0 with NO SUCCESS! Something seems to work wrong on Mandrake, and qmail gives CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE. I tried to reinstall the OS + qmail 5 times! The log said CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE every time! I tried to apply the DNS patch The log said CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE every time! I tried to change the router configuration: The log said CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE every time! I installed latest bind: The log said CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE every time! I installed RedHat: everything is working fine. Has someone got an idea about this? Has someone got the same problem? Best regards to all Miguel Beccari

Whatever those problems are, they're off-topic for this list. Chris I have been working for 2 weeks trying to solve this problem. I fixed my DNS problem (applied a patch, and installed latest bind) and I finished to think the problem is Mandrake7, because qmail didn't run. I only wanted to know why. I know this fact is strange, but is real: qmail 1.03 does not work with Mandrake7. Regards, Miguel Beccari

Something seems to work wrong on Mandrake, and qmail gives CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE. I'm using Qmail under Mandrake right now, and have installed it a few times, both via RPM and by compiling it right from the tarballs. I tried to reinstall the OS + qmail 5 times!

I installed RedHat: everything is working fine. Has someone got an idea about this? Has someone got the same problem? I am very interested of your mail. In fact, I installed RedHat + qmail on a service machine. I love Mandrake (I have been using mandrake since Venice release), and I'd prefer to continue using it... but I love Qmail too ;) so: I did have something similar. OK Does qmail start for you? Can it resolve the MX for your domain? sure. Qmail works 100% but can't deliver mail to remote hosts: CNAME LOOKUP UP FAILURE. qmail receive mails at 100% and deliver them to local users (also at virtual domains). It can't deliver to remote hosts The problem I had was in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init file with the programs called in the HOST variable (specifically dnsfq). I changed those calls to specify the domain name on my system and then it started working. Why it didn't work before, I don't know, but after I made that change it did work. If you install from tarballs, this is my installation you use the qmail script (not any qmail-*.init files which come from the tcpserver-initscripts package, I believe), and I don't even think dnsfq is installed (at any rate, it's not on my system), and things work fine. Yes. I follow Life with qmail for the installation. I repeat: Qmail works 100% but can't deliver mails to remote hosts. I couldn't explain this fact. regards, Miguel
POP3d
I have just installed QMAIL from fresh tar.gz. Now I'd like to set up a POP daemon. Someone can point me to documentation? I noticed in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d... but how can I call it to answer at 110 port? Best regards, Miguel Beccari
CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE...
I think my CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE is caused by router... In fact my mail server's got 192.168.0.x IP and exit on internet throught the router as 147.123.X.X. So QMAIL gives CNAME LOOKUP FAILURE sending mails to remote hosts. Is correct my idea? How to solve this problem? Sendmail works instead! Best regards, Miguel Beccari
