I am sitting with this problem for about two months. I am a Linux
newbie so I worked through the system over and over. I send this
question to the list a few days ago but it somehow does not manage to
get there.
Situation is like this:
Our ISP has responsibility for our domain. The system is connected to
the ISP by ISDN and PPP. There will be several subdomains. I take the
responsibility for these subdomains. Just now I work with only one
subdomain.
The mailserver is box1.subd1.domain.se. There is a DNS server on the
same computer. I download/upload mail from ISP via uucp on tcp in
regular intervals. That part works great.
Internal mail works OK. Users can mail to the outside world without
any problem.
The problem is downloading mail from the outside world. All the mail
goes to my account as the postmaster. I have tried different
approaches, nothing works. What to do?
By the way, when I start qmail, I get this message:
Starting mail transfer agent: qmailulimit: cannot raise limit: Invalid
argument [1] 916.
916 is PID for qmail-send. I cannot find any information about
qmailulimit.
On the server there is a DNS, named version 8.1.2. The interesting
zone file is as follows:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Zone file for subd1.domain.se
