You stated you setup the DNS server for the test network.. but you didn't say what nameservers your prod servers are using...and if there if you have xfer'd the zones or not so the prod nameservers have the updated information for your testnetwork's zone. -JR

I set up a mail server as a test server, and put it on it's own network. I then set up a router so that it can route to and from our prod net. I set up a DNS server on that router, and set things up appropriately DNS-wise for the appropriate domains. I am trying to send mail from this server to another server in our prod network. To do that you need the appropriate MX, PTR, and A records. So I ping the prod server from the test mail server by name, and it resolves, and responds. I do the following checks to be sure DNS is set up: Nslookup >Set type=mx >domain.com It responds with the appropriate addressing. >Set type=PTR >xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa It responds with the appropriate server name. Yet when I connect to this test mail server from the prod server, it does not recognize it. I get a: (Name service error for name=mail.mailtest.com type=MX: Host not found, try again) Any ideas? BTW, the /etc/resolv.conf, and the /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
