You have to set up your bind/DNS correctly, just search the forums for instructions.

[snake_eyes]

Instead of the bind, can you check the /etc/resolv.conf to be something like this:

# edit /etc/resolv.conf.
$ sudo pico /etc/resolv.conf
mail.domain.com A 192.168.1.65
mail.domain.com MX 0 mail.domain.com
domain.com MX 0 mail.domain.com

Cheers,

This is my resolv.conf :

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain xxxxxx.vn
search xxxxxx.vn
nameserver 222.215.22.172

but this is like that were acording to other post said , you want me to test this kind ??
ok , let me test it !
