Re: DO NOT TRY INSTALLING QMAIL ON MANDRAKE
Please, 1) Tell us the machine's name qmail is on. 2) The remote machine's name you are trying to send mail to. 3) Show us the log entry that shows the failed delivery attempt. 4) If you get any bounces, include the bounce with full header. Mate

I'm not an expert with qmail (far from it!) and I'm not not sure what your problem could be. All I know is it has to be *something* because if you followed Life with Qmail (which I did this last time), and did it via tarball (which I also did), then there's something else wrong. I know it's not Mandrake because my system works, but as to what it could be, I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net Freezer Burn BBS: telnet://bbs.freezer-burn.org .

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

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

I don't know anything about Mandrake7, but this is almost certainly not the case. I still suggest that you have a DNS problem. By the way, since the time I sent the initial response to your question, eleven different machines at your ISP have opened SMTP connections to my server every few seconds without sending anything (132 connections so far). What's up with that? Chris

As someone else has already mentioned, the problem is possibly your machine can not resolve hostnames properly. I couldn't explain this fact. Check your logs. What domains it failed to deliver to? Can you resolve the domain with nslookup or dig? Again, this is off-topic because it's not qmail's problem. Nor Mandrake's. Ronny

Re: DO NOT TRY INSTALLING QMAIL ON MANDRAKE
Just a thought, what did you set your security level to on the mandrake install? I installed using paranoid (level=5). One of the headaches this caused was that it set the file permissions on /etc/resolv.conf to 400, and kept returning them to 400 when a security audit was run. It caused all sorts of odd DNS errors on non-root processes. FYI, when I tried to install qmail I had this same problem, and just switched back to postfix. However, this was before I fixed that little resolv.conf problem. Maybe it works now? Anyway, check that you can resolve the MX you're sending to after su'ing to the qmail user. - Original Message - 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.
