Can anyone point me in the right direction on getting my mail going?
I've installed fedora 13 on a new system. I managed to get the webserver going but sendmail or getting mail delivered is giving me fits.
I believe I've partially gotten sendmail working because I can send an email locally using sendmail -v
userID@my-domain.com and it will end up in /var/spool/mail/userID. From maillog it look like the message was accepted for delivery.
But no matter what I do, I cannot get Evolution to read it.Nor can I download it with thunderbird on a PC.
I've also sent an email from out side the system (from a PC but with another host) but it never showed up at my-domain.com.
this is the output from some of my trouble shooting:
netstat -an
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

sendmail (pid 7048) is running...
sm-client (pid 7058) is running...
dovecot (pid 7107) is running...
dovecot.conf - I eventually added more protocols to fix the problem.
protocols pop3 pop3s imap imaps
nslookup mail.my-domain.com returns with the correct IP address and servers
nslookup -query=MX mail.my-domain.com
Non-authoritative answer:
cannot be found but is found from zonedit.
I can ping mail.my-domain.com and see that I have a static address from covad.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm missing or doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
