- Problem:
- mr.xxx.yyy has been set up as a mail exchanger. If I try to mail to
- user@mr.xxx.yyy my sendmail on the sun tells me:
-
- jack@mr.xxx.yyy... Never heard of host mr in domain xxx . yyy
-
-
- Hints:
- I use /etc/resolv.conf to resolve names.
- A nslookup session follows
-
- % /usr/etc/nslookup
- Default Server: slunix.xxx.yyy
- Address: 129.58.#.##
-
- > mr
- Server: slunix.xxx.yyy
- Address: 129.58.#.##
-
- Name: mr.xxx.yyy
-
-
- > set querytype=mx
- > mr
- Server: slunix.xxx.yyy
- Address: 129.58.#.##
-
- mr.xxx.yyy preference = 0, mail exchanger = saems.xxx.yyy
- saems.xxx.yyy inet address = 129.58.##.##
-
-
- It seems to me that I need to tell sendmail that mr.xxx.yyy is a mail
- exchanger so that when it does its nslookup it will have the querytype
- set correctly. I can't seem to find an option for sendmail.cf. Does
- anyone out there have a solution? I have been working on this problem
- off and on for over a week without success.
