Me again, Now, I have a clear diagnostic of what happens, but I don't know the reason: When I send an email, it goes to my Xmail server (as it has to be routed there through MX settings) and it is accepted for delivery. The mail is then stored in the spool (somewhere in spool/n1/n2/mess/...). But the mail is not delivered: it stays there indefinitely. If I restart Xmail, the mail in the folders are delivered to the mailboxes.
As a workaround I restart Xmail every 15 minutes. Is there a better way to make Xmail flush the queue and deliver the messages to their recipients ? What has changed is : Solaris intel was upgraded from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 hostname changed hardware changed 2 NIC (instead of one) DNS settings changed Xmail is version 1.17 (this occurs wether the binary were compiled on Solaris 8 or 9). gcc is version 2.95.3 Differences in behaviour : It doesn't deliver to mailbox (except at startup time). Is there a documentation about DNSROOTS file (at least if you can use the syntax from nslookup : M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET internet address = 202.12.27.33 ....) ? Do you have an idea of what I should do to correct this behaviour ? Many thanks in advance.
