Sendmail 8.8.3 on Free BSD 2.1.6 .. mail loops and complains from bad
DNS/Bind .. MX record ..
I just brought up another FreeBSD host as a Sendmail Master.
It is on our ISPs IP space .. however..
IN-ADDR PTR is to www.vcd.com .. and ..
MX 15 is uunet
MX 10 is us.new.host ..
The '% hostname' is saturn.vcd.com and ..
Djvcd.com
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DM saturn.vcd.com vcd.com www.vcd.com
So .. just like on my Solaris boxes at work .. any email to anyhost.vcd.com
Complains of MX problem .. I AM CLUELESS ..
1- Can you point me other than to source code on a configuring email
with 2.1.6 guide .. no mention in the newer revs of the Nutshells
at Barnes and Noble .. etc .. NO answers from the BSD project ..
2- Would be so nice to have a place to look for docs in the CDROM on
the new gotchas in F.BSD Sendmail .. or where ever else I have missed
looking ..
Please .. Help a really old newbie .. VR /Ev/ Postmaster-less
