I am setting up a mail router here at work, I realise that the box I am
running qmail on needs also to be running DNS. Is it okay for this to be
a name-caching only server with forwards to my ISP's DNS server?
TIA
Jon.

Hi Jon,

Hola Jon
If you haven`t a reliable connection, better use a slave DNS server on your
box.
It will fetch the DNS tables from your ISP.

No, it only needs *access* to the DNS (i.e., /etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, etc.)

Does qmail use resolv.conf to to its DNS lookups? If not, then what's
the process?

It does - at least it has to know what the nameserver's IP is! (It
doesn't use /etc/hosts etc. but that's a different fairy-tale.)

Hello all
I know this list is using Qmail with EZMLM. I am trying to install Qmail
on my system. The prerequite for this is to have a working DNS.
My home LAN has a bogus domainname. It uses the private (10.x.x.x )

How are you starting qmail-smtpd? Are you using tcpserver or inetd? What
is the command syntax you user for what you use?
One possible solution, set up an outbound only relay machine in the DMZ
that only accepts SMTP connections from your mail store machine and does
not perform any DNS lookups
