domain-name-problem-on-sending-email-to-someone@mydomain.com

[Joe-Cho]

Hi, Jonathan,

I got to tell you what the problems are:

I can send out  email ( outbound) to anyone and I receive email through
only my  email server ns1.infosavvytech.new.net which is my personal mail
server that I am planning to work on.

The person who gave me a comment checking
telnet mydomainname.com 25
I got a error.

This tells me that I have a domain name problem (FQDN).
I strongly believe that my local system has a problem
in regards to my domain name.

Here's the portion of my /etc/named.conf file:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --
zone "infosavvy.tech.new.net" {
	type master;
	file "named_infosavvytech.hosts";
}
- - - - - - - - - - - - --  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -

and zone file above /var/named/named_infosavvytech.hosts looks like this:
- --  -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 - - - - -
;

@	86400	IN	SOA	ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net. joecho.everestkc.net. (

		5M	  ; retry
		1W	  ; expiry
		1H )    ; minium

ns1			IN	A	64.126.95.212
ns2			IN	A	64.126.95.212
www               IN    A  	64.126.95.212

infosavvy.tech.new.net.	IN	CNAME	ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net.
infosavvy.tech.		IN	CNAME	ns1.infosavvy.tech.new.net.

--- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Of course there are a couple of files I need to check for dns services like

/etc/defaultdomain
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/netmasks
among others.

but they looks ok to me.

any suggestions???

He may be talking about outbound mail, I really didn't understand exactly
what
he wanted either, but if he's trying to get outbound from him at mydomain.com
instead of him at server.myname.com he needs to use the Masquerade option (I
think).  (I actuallly got it working to send out from multiple virtual
domains,
but I couldn't tell you exactly how.)
