Re: Sendmail: Deferred: Name server: <address>: host name lookup failure

These were sent from within the local network, not from the host itself
I've just tried sending a message from the host itself (using the mail
command) and get the same result

That's a hangover from when we only used this for local delivery. I've
fixed this by changing the sender of messages to "robert@mydomain.com".
Still no joy.
If this is of any help: I have set up DNS hosting with EveryDNS.net. Here
is my entry (as per their instructions):
Current Records: HostType Value MX
TTL
mail.mydomain.net.au A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx N/A
86400
mydomain.net.au A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx N/A
86400
mydomain.net.au MX mail.mydomain.net.au 108 6400
www.mydomain.net.au A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx N/A
86400
Is this set up properly?? I am a complete n00b when it comes to this!
