Thanks for the help on sendmail, I had read a book that said if I had
the correct MX entries in my name server, then I would not need the Cw
entries in sendmail.cf, however, that has fixed the problem but:
I am still havein problems with DNS, when I run dnslookup, I get NON
authoritative replies from my nameserver, which is supposed to be
authoritative. I don'n know why... I have set the zonefile to be a
master in my named.conf (using Bind8, shipped with SuSE 6.3).
Here is the DNSlookup reply
Default Server: maggie.instrumental-it.com
Address: 203.42.218.121
> set type=any
> emseng.com.au
Server: maggie.instrumental-it.com
Address: 203.42.218.121
Non-authoritative answer:
emseng.com.au preference = 10, mail exchanger =
maggie.instrumental-it.com
emseng.com.au nameserver = maggie.instrumental-it.com
emseng.com.au nameserver = ns1.telstra.net
emseng.com.au
origin = maggie.instrumental-it.com
mail addr = root.maggie.instrumental-it.com.(.emseng.com.au
serial = 5
refresh = 0 (0S)
retry = 10800 (3H)
expire = 0 (0S)
minimum ttl = 900 (15M)
Authoritative answers can be found from:
maggie.instrumental-it.com internet address = 192.168.0.1
maggie.instrumental-it.com internet address = 203.42.218.121
ns1.telstra.net internet address = 139.130.4.5
and here is my naed.conf
