by I'm not too sure how to begin describing this problem...
I have an ODT 3 box as a firewall, and MMDF is configed so that
incomming SMTP traffic is baduser'ed to another box on the inside
of the firewall.
Well in the process of getting httpd running, I noticed that httpd's
log files was only showing dotted notation for the hosts that were
accessing it. So I decided to put some entries into /etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.com
nameserver ISP.vendor.name.server
nameserver internal.name.server.box
As soon as I did this, the baduser stuff stopped working.
The log file now showed names instead of the numbers (as I wanted)
but my incomming mail broke.
If I send mail from the firewall into my local domain, it works,
It just doesn't work from mail originating from the rest of the world.
After a little bit of investigation, its the nameserver lines that cause
it to fail, and I don't think it matters which.
If it matters, my ISP is my nameserver for the rest of the world.
I don't exactly know what other info might be of help, so if anyone
knows whats going on, or needs to know more info, please ask
Any ideas?
TIA
