smtp / lmtp

[randyg]

When i enable DNS lookups, my users do not receive mail. I know this has been discussed in a lot of threads. I notice that when i enable dns lookups, postfix/lmtp sends the mail to a wrong address, so users do not receive the mail. Is there a place that i can change this address?


Thanks

Sounds like an issue with DNS.
So, do you host your own DNS, or outsource?

It might be easier to set up split DNS so that you can alter the records yourself.

For example, if mail.domain.com is 64.255.255.255 on the outside world, then on the inside it can be 10.32.23.32 so that when users send INTERNALLY to mail.domain.com it goes to the 10 address as opposed to the 64 address.

Well, the server only has an external address. Would me giving it a 127.0.0.1 address work?

um. no because it's not routable. . .unless you mean the relay.

So, is there any way for me to change the address that all mail gets sent to internally?

You need a split DNS setup, details can be found in the wiki.

I will look that up.

Thanks for your help
