I have our main machine configured to use a new FreeBSD as a secondary MX FreeBSD mail2.eagle.ca 4.2-BETA FreeBSD 4.2-BETA #0: Thu Nov 9 16:46:05 EST 2000 frey mann@mail2.eagle.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYGENERIC i386 The main machine has an mx value of 0, and this one is 30. I'm not sure when it started, but all of a sudden the secondary MX machine has started rejecteing valid email addresses on our main server. I had to kill sendmail completely as it's preventing our users from getting mail. /etc/resolv.conf points back to the main server. I don't run named on the secondary machine. If I nslookup main.domain I get the correct IP number. even shows mail.domain as the nameserver. If I do a: echo testing |sendmail -v support@main.host I get "user unknown" which is false. If I do: echo testing |sendmail -v support@machine.main.host it works fine. A few other tests showed connecting to local. It's like sendmail on the secondary machine thinks it's the main server and since those accounts don't exist, it rejects them with user unknown. I had originally had Freebsd 4.1.1 stable and cvsup's up to the latest last week. I rebooted the machine again yesterday because I was updating Apache and it's basically since yesterday I've noticed valid email addresses being rejected. Any ideas? -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
