I have a freeBSD 4.10-RELEASE installation. On that system, I have, running, a jail with a 4.10-RELEASE userland that is _identical_ to the base host. It is identical because I dumped the base systems filesystem and restored it inside the jail.
Everything is working fine. I have never touched any of the files inside of /etc/mail on either the base host OR the jail. Email works find on the base host, and email works fine in the jail. Users in the jail can email users in the base host without any problem. HOWEVER, if a user on the base host attempts to email a user in the jail (example.com, the base host will not deliver the mail. In /var/log/maillog, the following error is generated: May 13 08:47:03 basehost sm-mta[59207]: j4xSj059205: SYSERR(root): MX list for example.com. points back to basehost May 13 08:47:03 basehost sm-mta[59207]: j4xSj059205: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1001/1001), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=30457, relay=example.com., dsn=5.3.5, stat=Local configuration error May 13 08:47:03 basehost sm-mta[59207]: j4xSj059205: j4DFl3Sj059207: DSN: Local configuration error So it seems as if basehost is looking up the IP of example.com (the jail) and deciding "hey that is one of the IPs on the machine I am on ... barf!" So, again, I reiterate, I have never touched any files in /etc/mail on either the basehost or the jail ... it seems that all is well in the jail, but it seems that I need to somehow tell sendmail on the basehost to only consider the main IP on basehost to belong to itself, and ignore other IPs. How do I do this ? __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
