Hi all, First of all sorry this is a little off topic and may not be entirely qmail-related, but I am stuck with this one and wondered if anyone else on here has had the same experience.
I have the latest version of Bill's toaster installed on a redhat 9 box, which also happens to be my internet gateway. Today, I find that I am unable to send/receive e-mail using the DNS name of the qmail server (mail.mydomain.net) from the LAN attached to my gateway. I have checked the obvious; address resolves fine, internet access is fine, run a test without any firewall rules. The weird thing is that I can send/receive mail fine if I put in the internal IP address of the gateway. I know this is the type of question that comes up a hundred times from 'new users', and the answer is always an obvious one (one thing I like about Linux as opposed to Window$ is that there's always a _reason_ for something not working that I can _find_ and _fix_) but I just can't figure out what it is in this case. It's getting rather desperate since my users are one by one beginning to experience this difficulty. Thanks for you posts, David.
