Please do not mix up (outgoing) relay of some provider and (incoming) MX for some domain.

MX reference for the domain smtp1.mail.vip.ukl.yahoo.com. Although it is an unclean configuration, I do not see what this has to do with your relay ... your postfix just has to pull its mails (for yahoo.co.uk) to smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk, and it has an proper A record, so what does it need the MX record for ? BTW: if you don't get it fixed, you may get an UUCP account for relay at my site. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
