MX mail error Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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 ... 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.
