Good idea.. sorry, I should know better than that. Ok, here goes..
I'm running Mandrake 9.1, and I wish to use Postfix. Postfix is already
installed and I can access it through Webmin. I am running my own web
server and have a static ip, so I will be using my own domain with DNS MX
records already set.
One question to start off with.. I don't understand why all my virtual
servers EXCEPT the default virtual (the domain name) take so long to
resolve when I remove the cable from my old server (Mandrake 7.1) and plug
it into my new server (Mandrake 9.1). For example, when I have the old
server physically connected to the Internet, everything works
wonderfully.. the virtuals and the default domain name. When I unplug the
cable and connect it to the new server, all the virtuals work great, but
my default domain (which is *also* a virtual server) takes an hour or two
to resolve. In other words, I can see my virtuals when I connect to the
internet with a different computer, but not the default virtual until an
hour or more later.. sometimes longer. BUT, I *can* see the default
virtual if I type in the ip number (instead of the name) immediately.
Here is an example of my setup for the default:
@ IN SOA ns.vivid-eye.com. jamesf.efn.org. (
200309221 ; Serial
1H ; Refresh
1H ; Retry
1H ; expire
1H) ; Minimum
;
NS ns ;Inet Address of name server
;
localhost A 127.0.0.1
ns A 63.224.195.57
ns2 IN A 63.224.195.60
www CNAME ns
vivid-eye.com. IN MX 10 www.vivid-eye.com.
vivid-eye.com. IN A 63.224.195.57
www.vivid-eye.com. IN CNAME vivid-eye.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is an example of one of my virtuals:
@ IN SOA powwowdance.com. james.efn.org. (
200306161 ; Serial
3H ; Refresh
1H ; Retry
1H ; expire
1H) ; Minimum
;
NS ns ;Inet Address of name server
;
localhost A 127.0.0.1
ns A 63.224.195.57
ns2 IN A 63.224.195.60
@ IN A 63.224.195.57
www CNAME ns
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The virtual server powwowdance.com connects within a minute after I remove
the cable from the old server, and connect it to the new server, but the
vivid-eye.com doesn't show up for hours at least.
Ok, I mentioned all that because I have a feeling this is why I am not
getting Postfix to send and receive mail correctly.. since the
vivid-eye.com isn't being "seen."
Can I change something to have the default "vivid-eye.com" resolve as fast
at "powwowdance.com?"
Thanks.
