Mail configuration problem

[baravalle]

Hi,
I had a mail configuration problem, that is now solved apparently without reason.

I could not recieve any more mails, for all the domains in my server for which I was not master DNS. Qmail seemed to be running, and I reloaded it several times.

After some tentatives, I enable the master DNS (the domains should not have needed it), and it worked. Then I disabled it, and it still worked.

So I suppose that a side-effect of enabling the master DNS solved the problem. Still, I wonder what solved the problem (and what the problem was).

Any suggestions?

Have a look at /var/log/xinetd.log for the duration of the smtp connections.

I had to disable the reverse ip lookup (see another thread here in the forums) to solve this.

Perhaps it helps,

Andreas
