I'm getting Deferred: No route to host when trying to use the
smtp.mail.yahoo.com relay service. It seems this may be a problem with my
DNS or how this name is getting resolved by sendmail. I am using a
cache-only DNS on my local box. Here are my resolv.conf entries.
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 207.217.120.83
nameserver 207.217.77.82
The last two are DNS's used by earthlink customers, the first of course
is my box. I do have cache only name server I set up using the info in the
Complete FreeBSD. Here is localhost.rev.
@ IN SOA scarlet.my.domain. root.scarlet.my.domain. (
20010428 ; Serial
3600 ; Refresh
900 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
3600 ) ; Minimum
IN NS scarlet.my.domain.
1 IN PTR localhost.my.domain.
The appropriate parts of named.conf are ...
forwarders {
207.217.120.83; 207.217.77.82; 127.0.0.1;
};
and ...
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};
Lynx works for all the websites I need to go to so it seems that the
cache only name server is working. I can also send mail without a problem
through earthlink's smtp relay. This problem really has me stumped, but it
seems like a solution is just around the corner.
