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. ------------------------------- Testing smtp via telnet: Input: [karl@lupine karl]$ telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to lupine.
