Able to send mail but cannot receive mail

Able to send mail but cannot receive mail

Post by Ravi Narasimha » Thu, 14 Sep 1995 04:00:00



I am connecting to a SLIP account which dynamically allocates the IP address.
Once connected, I am able to send mail from the Linux machine.  However when
people from outside try to send mail to the linux machine, the mail is bounced
back with a message like:

config error: mail loops back to myself
Local configuration error

Do I need to change /etc/hosts?  What files do I need to modify?

Thanks
Ravi
