Hi
I have a problem which I think MIGHT be related to the absence of
a DNS server on my server. Symptom is no incomming mail. :-)
Current config:
I have sendmail running, and it sends out-going mail just fine,
and sendmail.cf has a record telling it to deal with mail for the domain
the ppp.linkup script also has a line:
"!bg /bin/etrn.pl snmp.connect.ie co-operation-north.ie"
^^^^ My ISP's Mail host
^^^^ my domain name
However, no mail seems to be arriving,
and when I send mail using an a/c outside the domain (this a/c)
the mail doesn't bounce, but it never arrives.
Doing an NSLOOKUP with type set to MX gives my ISP's mailhost
as the MX host for my email domain. (Correct, I hope)
[to be pedantic, it reports "ook.connect.ie" is the MX host,
smtp.connect.ie is an alias]
How do I
(1) check if the mail is ever getting as far as the ISP's mail host ?
(2) if it is, how do I get it to my server ?
