I am trying to have inbound emails without specific hostname, delivered to
my freeBSD 2.1.5 box which runs primary DNS.
I have the following lines in my forward DNS file:
$ORIGIN bawel.net.
<-----SOA record deleted for brevity------->
MX 0 pioneer.bawel.net.
IN NS pioneer.bawel.net.
However, after I added the MX line as suggested by "DNS and BIND" book,
I've got the following error message when sending an email with just the
domain name:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 MX list for bawel.net. points back to pioneer.bawel.net
554 <lotus@bawel.net>... Local configuration error
I spent hours already reading help files and hacking around DNS files and
sendmail.cf, but I got nowhere.
Please help!
TIA.
P.S. Due to the high traffic, I stay out of the questions list.
Please CC your reply to jk@tti.net. Thanks.
Jeffry
