Mail Problems, Again
Hello,
I have been trying to fix my smail program to be able to receive mail from
others using my static ip/monolith address. These questions are based on my
home machine and I have read over DNS/SMAIL/NETWORK, etc. manpages and
HOWTO's. I came accross some messages between George Bonser and Remco from
Feb/March list archives and tried some of the tips they came up with. But
am still having problem receiving mail. Sending mail is no problem, it is
just when I try to receive from anyone using the htuttle@samson.ml.org
address. I get mail fine from my htuttle@dallas.net address.
Here's my part of my smail config file.
visible_name=samson.ml.org
domains=samson.ml.org:dallas.net
hostnames=archangel:aux-217-10-129
This was explained in the archives between George and Remco.
Here's my hosts file:
209.217.10.129 samson.ml.org aux-217-10-129.dallas.net
Again like the archives mentioned.
Now this is what I see on my syslog when mail is incoming:
Apr 8 11:21:49 archangel in.smtpd[1025]: connect from mailgw1a.lmco.com
Apr 8 11:21:52 archangel in.smtpd[1027]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:53 archangel in.smtpd[1030]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:54 archangel in.smtpd[1033]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:54 archangel in.smtpd[1036]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:55 archangel in.smtpd[1039]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:55 archangel in.smtpd[1042]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:56 archangel in.smtpd[1045]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:56 archangel in.smtpd[1048]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:57 archangel in.smtpd[1051]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:58 archangel in.smtpd[1054]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:58 archangel in.smtpd[1057]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:59 archangel in.smtpd[1060]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:21:59 archangel in.smtpd[1063]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:22:00 archangel in.smtpd[1066]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:22:01 archangel in.smtpd[1069]: connect from samson.ml.org
Apr 8 11:22:02 archangel in.smtpd[1072]: connect from samson.ml.org
Then when I get the Bounced mail back I see:
|------------------------- Failed addresses follow: ---------------------|

etc.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone make heads or tail of this? Please help!
Thanks
