Sorry to be a pest...
The config docs at
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/CentOS_5_QmailToaster_Install says
the following
Make dns entry:
BIND - in the your-domain.com zone file (see public.txt for the
private._domainkey.your-domain.com entry):
_domainkey.your-domain.com. IN TXT "t=y; o=-"
Note: This is putting it into test mode. If you are done testing, and want
to take it out of testing mode, change the above to reflect below.
_domainkey.your-domain.com. IN TXT "o=-"
Then also add this to your zone file:
private._domainkey.your-domain.com. IN TXT "k=rsa; p=MEwwDQY . . . to
end of key"
(NOTE QUOTATION MARKS MUST BE THERE)
- - - - - -
I can replace that with :
# yum install caching-nameserver
# service start named
# chkconfig named on
Then put
nameserver 127.0.0.1
as the first record in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
Add the A and MX records at my registrar and I'm done other than the testing
you suggest in the config docs.
Thanks again for all your support and guidance!
