Very Computer

Hi,

I cannot receive any mail on our mail server running Linux 2.0.25.
The mail server is identical to the dns2 of domain.com. (note: the
affected domain name and ip addresses have been changed for anon, please
note I also set the expiry time to 1 hour for testing purposes, this is
intentional).
dns1 holds the following records for mx and dns2:

; BIND version named 4.9.4-P1 Thu Oct 17 14:42:59 CEST 1996

; zone 'domain.com'   last serial 31
; from 194.231.54.228   at Sat Mar  1 11:33:12 1997
$ORIGIN com.
domain      IN  SOA dns1.domain.com. bi.domain.com. (
        33 3600 600 3600 3600 )
        IN  NS  dns1.domain.com.
        IN  MX  5 dns2.domain.com.
$ORIGIN domain.com.
dns1        IN  A   194.231.54.228
dns2        IN  A   194.231.54.226

Whenever I send a mail from my account on another machine on the
internet I receive the following error:

Could anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I'm at the end of my
already small wisdom....

Thanks!

make sure that you have a cw file or cw listing in your sendmail.cf file
for your domain.
