Hi everyone! I setted up a second domain name on my server. The DNS is well setted and I don't have problem with it. I made an MX entry on my mail server to allow my server to receive mail on the domain and I added the new domain to sendmail.cw too. When I'm connected to my server by PPP, I tried to send me an email at xenub@newdomain.com . It worked just fine. I went at school (a totally different network) and tried to send me an email at xenub@vetements257.qc.ca . It worked just fine. But one of my users complained that someone tried to send him an email and here is the error he got: _____________________________________________________________ The original message was received at Mon, 8 Sep 1997 05:35:20 -0600 (MDT) from pcaxs02.pccw.petro-canada.ca [156.44.137.181] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <falco@vetements257.qc.ca> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 <falco@vetements257.qc.ca>... Host unknown (Name server: mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca.vetements257.qc.ca.: no data known) ______________________________________________________________ The user falco is a valid username on the machine and when I try to email him from my network it works fine. The part I don't understand in the error message is: (Name server: mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca.vetements257.qc.ca.: no data known). Why is it trying to find this server mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca.vetements257.qc.ca. ?? The problem is it with my configuration or with the server of pcaxs02.pccw.petro-canada.ca ?? BTW, mail.boisfrancs.qc.ca is my old domain name. What does this error mean and how can I fix it? Is it with my server or with the user of petro-canada.ca that the problem is... Thanks a lot for you answer! Louis-Philippe Alain Internet Bois-Francs
