hi all,
Sorry for not giving a subject in my earlier mail
First of all I must say that I am a NEWBIE running RH6.0.
After following your list for some weeks,
I did the installation of qmail on a test server.
when executing ./config
I got the following error.
-------------------------
Your hostname is dhamma.metta.lk.
Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
You will have to set up control/me yourself.
-------------------------
./config-farst is ofcause the first solution.
I know this is not a Qmail problem, but I will have to settle it,
and do not quite know what this means.
Could someone kindly let me know
if the files I have setup below are correct
I am running this server as a main server that will be on the Net 24hours
and will be collecting mail on this server for subdomains
the subdomains will dial up on a ppp link and download mail
my main domain is "metta.lk" IP 204.143.107.46
and the subdomains are "col7.metta.lk" local IP 172.16.1.1
and "col4.metta.lk" local IP 172.16.1.1
