Me too.  But we could try it.  I could point people to a document that 
says how to get help from the qmail mailing list.  And then I could,
hehe, suggest that people run qmail-lint first.  Bwahahahahaha!

I doubt it will work. http://www.qmail.org/top.html already includes a
blurb about the list and the FAQ, which does not stop people from
asking such frequently asked questions. If they can't master the FAQ,
its unlikely they will master the relevant-information part.

just a suggestion: what about a few lines at www.qmail.org telling people
what information to post in order to get help (logs, configs, permissions,
startup scripts, etc. blah blah) and not just: i have a problem - mails are
not delivered - what's wrong?

Last I checked (as in a few seconds ago) domain.com is registered to
a US company, in Pennsylvania, that happens to be a domain registrar.
You're in India, if I'm not mistaken.  Have you purchased domain.com
from them?

What I'm trying to say is that you should give us real information.

It's starting to become neccessary to be creative since we have to
keep telling people this, over, and over, and over ...

Is your domain really in DNS, or are you putting it in the hosts
file?

qmail doesn't refer to the hosts file ever, only to DNS.

Need more information from the logs, and the output of qmail-showctl.



problem in delivering mails locally...

2001-01-12 Thread vasudeva

Hi all,
I have configured qmail server and trying to
connect to my main branch to get mails , but this is
happening without any problem. Only thing after
getting mails to the qmail server I am getting error
message while delivering to each user:

deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)

my host name is: vasu.domain.com
my main branch host name is: email.domain.com
domain name is: domain.com

Can anybody help me how to fix this atthe earliest.

Thanx

Vasudeva
