[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello here, Thanks for your help on the sendmail issue (relying). I created the hosts-allow file and now it works. Today I noticed a problem with nslookup though. Eventhough the DNS seems to be resovling names just fine, when I run nslookup I get strange results. On nslookup, if I type #nslookup >cyber-planet.net.mx I get *** server1.cyber-planet.net.mx cannot find cyber-planet.net.mx*** But if I type >cyber-planet.net.mx. (with a trailing dot) It works just fine. That is, if I include the trailing dot when I do the lookup, it works, otherwise it does not. Now if I type >set debug and do a >cyber-planet.net.mx (no trailing dot) It first finds the name just fine, but looks like it tries a second time, only this time looking for cyber-planet.net.mx.cyber-planet.net.mx. and of course it fails. Now if I type >set type=any and do a >cyber-planet.net.mx (no trailing dot) it works just fine. I checked for sintax errors on the PTR record but everything seems to be ok. Any clues? Thanks for your input.
