Did you try this first? Do you also have valid DNS A & MX records plus a correct /etc/hosts file? Did you also search the forums for that error? It's been answered many times.

[nishith]

I have tried this also. But,finally no such result.

Comment out requiretty so the line looks like the following:
#Defaults requiretty

The above file hash is not working.

Tell me else please.

Dear Sir,
I am using Fedora Core 7 Linux & below is my default entries in

/etc/hosts file.

::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6


MX record entry in DNS Service. The location is /var/named/renovau.co.in.zone

The entry is as give below.

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA renovau.co.in. root.renovau.co.in. (
42 ; serial (d. adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum
IN NS renovau.co.in.
IN MX 10 webmail.renovau.co.in.; Primary Mail Server
IN TXT "Renovau Telecom Pvt.Ltd"
renovau.co.in. IN A 192.168.1.52

Your DNS & /etc/hosts file are both wrong, you need to use the FQDN of your server in the hosts file. Check the documentation for the correct hosts file format and the instructions in this post for correcting the DNS.

Dear Bill,

Below is my /etc/hosts file entry. Please check it & tell me is it correct?

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
58.68.123.55 webmail.renovau.co.in webmail
192.168.1.52 webmail.renovau.co.in webmail

Here,webmail is a local computer's host name & renovau.co.in is my dns name.


Please help me out to sort out my dns problem. If u have any demo dns file entry,please send me on nvblue@gmail.com.

Waiting,
Nishith N.Vyas.

You need to remove this line:

58.68.123.55 webmail.renovau.co.in webmail

from the hosts file. I guess that's your external IP address? You will also need external DNS records (I mean external to your DNS server on the LAN) so mail can be delivered correctly. The link I posted to the DNS in a Nutshell article is the correct format for the DNS records on your LAN DNS server.

[nishith]

Now,i have modified /etc/hosts file. See Below.

My server WAN ip is 58.68.123.55
My server LAn ip is 192.168.1.52

The /etc/hosts file entry is :-

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
58.68.123.55 webmail.renovau.co.in webmail


Also check my dns file name entry.

It's not an unknown language, it's French. The link I gave you was incorrect, sorry, this is the correct link.

You've also taken the wrong line out of your hosts file, you want to remove the one for the external IP an put the one for your LAN IP back in there.
