Thanks

You have told your server (probably in /etc/resolv.conf) that 127.0.01 is your nameserver.

You probably don't actually have a nameserver running.

Regards

Bind 8.2 is working
 

I have finally installed Caldera's VMS on Caldera
Server 3.1.1
and when i tried to install VMS i got an DNS server
related error. and i corrected that error by
installing Bind provieded in your server CD.
Now after installation when i try to send a mail from
one user to another then i get the following error
