A name with dots, a fqdn. Then add it to locals and rcpthosts. I had the same problem and I solved it this way. No need of a DNS.
Re: local messages, how?
Thanks. I've installed the bind package. This solved the problem. Attila On Fri, Jun 18, 1999 at 02:40:29PM +0200, Attila Csosz wrote: > I've installed qmail on my linux box.

RE: local messages, how?
You may need to create a local name server. Create a "domain" for yourself and this way qmail will be able to resolve the destination for your machine. > -Original Message- > From: Attila Csosz [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 18, 1999 11:44 AM > To: Giulio Orsero > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: local messages, how? > > On Fri, Jun 18, 1999 at 02:59:34PM +0200, Giulio Orsero wrote: > > On Fri, 18 Jun 1999 14:40:29 +0200, hai scritto: > > > > >I've installed qmail on my linux box.

It don't work still.

I think this put "localhost" in me. Qmail doesn't like this, it wants something with dots in me. So put a bogus name in control/me, something with dots: mymachine.mydomain.dom Ciao.

If it is localhost.localhost then you know what to change... By the way, look at the other 4 files there as well, for localhost.localhost :) Robert Varga
