1) DJBDNS: Bernd, I thought that I had only installed the dnscache portion of tinydns as described somewhere one the web - Something like http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache.html 2) Current DNS problem: I noticed that in the DNS tests performed by ourselves in this thread the domain is incorrect. This may or mayn't be some typographical error that was propagated by myself ; Apologies if it was. The original error message referred to the domain dnsexit.com, which returns the MX records as shown below from the DNS running on the server. # dig mx DNSEXIT.COM ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> mx DNSEXIT.COM ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 26071 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;DNSEXIT.COM.

I read here that this points towards a corrupted installation, http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11764.html ...and a `find / -name esmtpd` produces no results. Will it be easier for me to reinstall the O/S and start again from scratch, (This will take me several nights and the w/e to do so I don't reallt fancy this idea), or is there a way to correct the installation?
