Perhaps I'm just being really boneheaded about this, but we're having some
trouble with qmail when we restart (not reload) named.
When a new zone is added to the named server, it needs to be restarted to
actually read that zone file. During the time that it is down and restarting
(usually about 15-30 seconds), some qmail errors may get generated. In our
/var/log/maillog:
Nov 17 17:00:05 joppa qmail-smtpd: MAIL FROM: DNS check failed
(accounts@wingnet) -> () [206.30.215.2] (HELO agape.wingnet.net)
which looks to the client like this:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtp.gospelcom.net.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<<< 553 sorry, envelope sender must have a valid domain name (#5.7.1)
Is there a better way to avoid these kinds of errors? The named server is on
the same machine as the qmail server, if that helps.
Thanks for any thoughts.
