Aliases
Hi, I'm using qmail aliases to create simple mailing lists. Does anyone know how to stop qmail from sending you a copy of your own message whenyou post to an alias that has your addressincluded in the alias? Cheers, -mic
Re: can't find hosts
Yeah, I just fixed it actually after reading that qmail doesn't actually do dns lookups. Found tcpserver to be the culprit. xinetd makes it run fine. I'll probably just leave it at that now...

All dns tools are working fine, it just seems to be qmail. Anyone know the answer? What do the logs say? How are you invoking qmail-smtpd?
Re: can't find hosts
the run script for tcpserver was as outlined in the Qmail HOWTO from www.qmail.org. - Original Message - From: "Alex Pennace" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Michael Cartmel" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 5:32 PM Subject: Re: can't find hosts On Sat, Mar 31, 2001 at 05:01:39PM +1000, Michael Cartmel wrote: [qmail-smtpd causing messages to be bounced] Yeah, I just fixed it actually after reading that qmail doesn't actually do dns lookups.

I believe that your tcpserver configuration caused $RELAYCLIENT to be set to something other than "", which can cause the problems you were having. Hence my earlier request for logs and the run script for qmail-smtpd under tcpserver.
qmail-inject works but qmail-smtp doesn't
Hi, I'm not where the setup has gone wrong here. Follow the Howto to setup Qmail, everything looks ok. Qmail-inject is able to send out no problems at all. I can send to any account, local or not. I send a mail in from another host and it gets recieved by qmail ok but wont deliver it locallally. I send a mail from say outlook express and it connects, sends ok, then the mail just sits in the queue and wont deliver. The log says CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily and it doesn't seem to recognise when the mail is going to a local address. I've gone over the FAQ and the mailing list archive and had no luck. I'm sure there's an easy answer here... can anyone help? Cheers, -mic smime.p7s
