I have checked rcpthost, locals, and me
and all are configured to mydomain.com
Let change the picture
computername = host1
hostname = host1
domain = local.mydomain.com
entries on the DNS:
host1 IN A ip
host2 IN A same ip
IN MX 10 host2.local.mydomain.com.
now i tried changing the hosts file from
"ip address host1.local.mydomain.com host1" to
"ip address host2.local.mydomain.com host2"
restarted the system. used pine to send mail but still
no change. the sender's address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
i'm getting to think that the mail domain is binded on your computer name "hostname"
and not on the host which is delcared on your hosts file.
please correct me if i'm wrong.
again i apologise for this since i really want to learn Qmail
Regards,
Benjie
