Eric 'shubes', you are very nice.
"Which DNS server you use for resolution has nothing to do with rDNS.I don't
use djbdns (I use caching-nameserver and bind-chroot packages instead)"
is there any quick howto caching-nameserver and bind-chroot?
so I can't be much help debugging your djbdns setup if it has problems. I do
know that you can test to see if it's working by doing:while your djbdns is
running. You should get back:
# dig @127.0.0.1 google.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> @127.0.0.1 google.com; (1 server found);; global

i didnt get AUTHORITY SECTION:
There should be no functional difference between using djbdns and 127.0.0.1 vs
your ISP's DNS resolver(s), provided both resolvers are working properly. Using
djbdns will help your QMT server to run a little faster is all.
basically here i need to troubleshoot if i use spamdyke, many of my
users/clients where not able to send mails, sorry to club the other query i
made here in list. in smtp/current i used to get DENIED_RBLMATCH. so i switched
(commented) the blacklists option. it is pretty difficult to digest that mail
server is running without spam controller. i was in a impression that since i
am not running any caching/ server this error would have occured.
eventhough the ip's where not listed in spamhaus (all three shows OK") as
follows
IP Address Lookup
165.21.21.188 is not listed in the SBL165.21.21.188 is not listed in the
PBL165.21.21.188 is not listed in the XBL
"Please describe any remaining problem you have the best you can, and we'll do
our best to get you running smoothly."
very nice word it is eric, During this thanks giving i would have said thanks
to you.
