I've installed qmail on a RH6.2 machine, following the instructions from 
the SAMS qmail book and the Life with qmail doc.
The server is for the domain eeng.may.ie
My problem is that while all the tests in TEST.deliver work, some of the 
tests in TEST.recieve fail.
When I telnet into port 25 it fails (see below for input and output), when 
I send a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] it succeeds, it fails when I send it 
from [EMAIL PROTECTED], it fails when I try to send it from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using outlook (pop3 works fine though 
using outlook).
Those that fail respond with Sorry, I couldn't find any host named 
<domain>?. (#5.1.2)

Any pointers of where to start looking at?

Thanks,

Karl.
