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 From: Mail Delivery Subsystem Subject: Returned mail: Local configuration error The original message was received at Thu, 25 Jun 1998 11:33:20 -0500 (CDT) from gatekeeper.lindenwood.edu [199.217.137.66] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 MX list for macross.net. points back to home.macross.net 554 ... 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. - Britton Johnson, Ass't System Admin.
