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.

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.
local messages, how?
I've installed qmail on my linux box. It works nice with remote messages but I'd like to use it with local messages( for example I'd like to redirect cron messages to a normal user account or I'd like to send message another user ) When I set up qmail I ran ./config-fast localhost. Currently I get the following error message while trying to send message me ( normal user account; attila: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) I tried to add the 'localhost.localhost' line to the /var/qmail/control/locals but it don't work also. In my home directory exist a file '.qmail' I've read the documentation but I can't do this.

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
