hi, well, after all the long advantures i had with this damm mandrake machine for the past 2 days, there is only 1 last thing left :
when sending mail (localy from the server or with a client from the local lan) it takes about 30 sec's for the mail to "go out" and even then its being held in the mqueue. to some recipients its being sent, and some get a timeout error... in sendmail.cf : # queue up everything before forking? # O SuperSafe=True in some cases i get an error that says "hostname lookup faild - domain.com" (when domain.com is the name of my mail server. there WAS a problem with my resolve.conf, but even after it was fixed, i still get the same errors.. telneting to port 25 gives : $ telnet domain.com 25 Trying 1.2.3.4... Connected to domain.com (1.2.3.4.) Escape character is '^]'. 220 domain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.1/8.12.1; Thu, 21 Feb 2002 01:53:43 +0200 helo [EMAIL PROTECTED] 501 5.0.0 Invalid domain name WHY ?!?! 1) why are messages being sent to the queue and not sent directly ? 2) why does it take so long for a client to connect and send mail out ? in /etc/hosts everything is ok, tal. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
