DNS / Bind Problem....
 
I just finished this example for setting up Postfix w/ MySql, etc...

http://genco.gen.tc/postfix_virtual.php#mysqlconf

It appears everything is loaded / compiled. However mail is not working and I think it is because of DNS. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


When I attempt this command I am getting this result.

mind:/usr/local/postfix-2.2.2 # host -t mx hingedmind.com 127.0.0.1

Thanks for the response bathory.

I removed that line (not sure why it was there) and the result seems to be the same. I also added this one and tried, the same result.

According to the Bind 9 Administrators Reference Manual,

it looks like your config files need a couple of touches..

Uncomment the line
allow-query { any; };
to allow it to serve addresses to clients..
and add the line
recursion no;
to prevent it from serving records it doesn't have.

Also, I gather that it's only for your local net to use, so you can change {any;} to {10.0.0.0;} for allow-query
How are users selecting this dns server?

For what you're doing, bind is way over the top.
You could use a lightweight resolver like dnsmasq or dnrd, which use local conf files and/or /etc/hosts for name records.

Thanks Peter.

This is a SuSE host with a static IP address and a registered domain name. I used this to set it up http://genco.gen.tc/postfix_virtual.php#mysqlconf

I am wanting to be able to handout mail accounts from this server and manage them.

Am I going in the right direction for that?

Thanks

This is from the message log:

Does the empty label mean anything?

Sapient 01-09-2006 07:31 AM

Was doing a search and run across this.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ad.php?t=67255

I have the same problem with the pid file. Could this be causing issues since my setup is:
Postfix Sasl Courier MySQL DNS PostfixManager Antivirus

peter_robb 01-09-2006 07:36 AM

Sure does..
Have a look at the Admin manual for error codes and the example zone files.

If you want to serve public addresses and also local ip numbers for your local LAN, you will need to set up acls to avoid public clients getting 10.0.0.x numbers, and your local clients getting internet numbers for domains hosted on the local box.
This will lead to 2 separate zone files, one for the public, one for the local net.
If you want to be a little lazy (crafty) you can use the virtualmin module from Webmin to do all the hard work..

Postfix will want the public numbers rather than the 10.0.0.x numbers otherwise it will reject mail it sends to itself.
Postfix will need each domain you serve in it's my_destination definition, as well as it's own hostname and "localhost.$mydomain".

I also hope this box is in a dmz of sorts..

peter_robb 01-09-2006 07:40 AM

For the pid file, look in /etc/init.d/bind (or named or bind9) and see where it is trying to place the pidfile.

Either change the location or make sure the user named runs as has the appropriate permissions.
You may need to add this user to the group that owns the directory..

Sapient 01-09-2006 11:32 AM

I have gone through several examples and documentation and it appears my dns conf files are correct.

I was able to get the PID file straight. Though I got virtualmin installed in fails when I try to start it.


http://localhost:1000 "The connection was refused" Any ideas? Could this be that my localhost is not in the hingedmind.zone file?

I am not sure if this is related but I just noticed that http://localhost works fine, however, when I try say http://localhost:901 I get a connection refused.

If I were in your shoes, I would be looking at why you have such a large delay value. (292402/3600=81.2 hours) Consider clearing out your queue and then resubmit new emails to be sure you are not chasing previously queued e-mail problems. See: man postsuper

Also, I would check your maildrop definition in master.cf. Seems like postfix is doing its part by pipeing the e-mail to maildrop, but maildrop is kicking it back.
