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.
