I've run into a situation that's got me completely stumped. I'm running FreeBSD (cvsup'd and rebuilt last night) in a virtual hosting environment. I have to machines, ashburn and bunning. ashburn is the web host, bunning is the mail host. Most of our hosts use the ip address of ashburn, but a few have their own IPs, aliased onto ashburn. Yesterday, I had to change those IPs to new ones, also aliased onto ashburn. When I did that, however, strange mail stuff started happening. Clients on ashburn have various CGI scripts to send email. After the change, mail that originates on ashburn for the domains that got the new IP addresses is trying to be delievered directly to ashburn, even though nslookup shows that ashburn knows that the preferred MX host is bunning. There's nothing for these hosts in sendmail.cw or the virtusertable, either. If I try to send mail directly to "user@affected_domain.com" from ashburn, it bounces immediately with "Unknown user". Mail sent from outside ashburn gets to the correct place. If anyone has any idea what could be going on, I'd love to hear it. --Wade To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
