[New user alert]
Running FreeBSD 4.0
Just installed qmail-1.03 from the FreeBSD ports collection.
My setup is a home user machine, laptop running FreeBSD that accesses
the internet by IP masquerade of desktop machine (also home user
machine) which is connected via DSL to local ISP. My main internet
mailbox is with the commercial news service newsguy.com.
The laptops name is satellite.local.lan. At the end of the qmail
build a message was displayed:
Your hostname is satellite.local.lan.
hard error
Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
You will have to set up control/me yourself.
So `/var/qmail/control/me' says: satellite.local.lan
Past experience indicates that if I want my From address to reflect
the newsguy.com address, I need to Masquerade that domain
(newsguy.com).
Qmail FAQ indicates that is done by placing a `default' file in
/var/qmail/control/default containing:
newsguy.com
This works for sending mail via the internet and my `From' address
comes out right.
Currently the only files in /var/qmail/control are the two mentioned
above: `default' and `me'
My problem:
Going through the various tests I find the local-local test doesn't
insert a message in my inbox ~/Mailbox ( a symlink to /var/mail/$USER)
directly as expected but instead sends the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That is:
`echo to: reader | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject'
Does not insert a message directly to ~/Mailbox but instead sends it
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So if the DSL link isn't up then local delivery fails.
What do I need to do to correct this?
