hello list,
after running qmail for 8 weeks now without any trouble so far, qmail
starts driving me crazy today !
i am running a webserver with qmail as mailsystem. furthermore i am running
my own named. i set up mydomain.com correctly in named with the following
subdomains:
mx.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com
ftp.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com
www.......
named runs without any trouble and works correctly.
/var/qmail/controls/virtualdomains contains the following:
mydomain.com:georg
www.mydomain.com:georg
now, the problem is the following:
sending an email to <anything>@mydomain.com ends in an errormsg
by qmail saying :"sorry, no mailbox by this name", although i
put mydomain.com into virtualdomains.
sending an email to <anything>@www.mydomain.com works perfectly.
replacing with "www" by i.e. "ftp" or "mx" in virtualdomains works,
too.
i am using qmail with qmail's own pop3d, not vpopmail.
i have checked through all my configfiles, but i can't find any
mis-configuration. unfortunately my system worked well since
tonight, although i DID NOT alter any of the configfiles.
somebody who can help me or give me a hint where to start my
investigation ?

jens
