Hello all,
I am running 2.2.6 with bind 4.9.6 and the default sendmail. I
think I may have a very basic problem here, with an easy fix except I'm
not that familiar with the inner workings of sendmail. What I am trying
to set up is a way to have the mail sent to just my domain name to go to
one host. I set up the MX record like this:
macross.net. IN NS ns.macross.net.
macross.net. IN NS ns1.macross.net.
ns IN A 199.217.200.30
ns1 IN A 199.217.200.31
home IN A 199.217.200.32
macross.net. IN MX 50 home.macross.net.
Now. Here is what I get if I send a message to johnson@macross.net:
---------- Forwarded message ----------
To: postmaster@ns.macross.net, johnson@lindenwood.edu

<johnson@macross.net>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 MX list for macross.net. points back to home.macross.net
554 <johnson@macross.net>... Local configuration error
---------------------------------------
At this point I realize that either I am missing something in my
DNS (which I _think_ looks good) or sendmail needs some tweaking. If
anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
