Re: can't find hosts
Yeah, I just fixed it actually after reading that qmail doesn't actually do dns lookups. Found tcpserver to be the culprit. xinetd makes it run fine. I'll probably just leave it at that now...

All dns tools are working fine, it just seems to be qmail. Anyone know the answer? What do the logs say? How are you invoking qmail-smtpd?

I believe that your tcpserver configuration caused $RELAYCLIENT to be set to something other than "", which can cause the problems you were having. Hence my earlier request for logs and the run script for qmail-smtpd under tcpserver.
Re: can't find hosts
the run script for tcpserver was as outlined in the Qmail HOWTO from www.qmail.org. - Original Message - From: "Alex Pennace" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Michael Cartmel" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 5:32 PM Subject: Re: can't find hosts On Sat, Mar 31, 2001 at 05:01:39PM +1000, Michael Cartmel wrote: [qmail-smtpd causing messages to be bounced] Yeah, I just fixed it actually after reading that qmail doesn't actually do dns lookups.

qmail can't find hosts
Hi I run qmail-1.03. OpenBsd 2.7. If I want to send e-mails they stay in the queue. If I want to receive e-mails, qmail gets them from the ISP but lets them in the queue. It does= n't send them to my NT-Exchange Server. Why qmail cannot find the receiver's host and the sender's host? If I run nslookup usa.net or myhost.ch it finds the IP-addresses. I tried to send an email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heres the result: Any ideas? What could be wrong? When I send from mydom.ch to usa.net I have the same problem.
