when postfix starts i see a warning saying etc/resolv.conf and /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf differ, is this warning important? what should i do about it
In a previous mail you said you didn't change anything. This message says you did. You edited resolv.conf by hand and forgot to copy it to /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf. If you had used yast to configure your system, yast would have copied this file automagical for you. The error mentioned in your previous email is related - I think. You have configured smtp.concentirc.net as your MX host, but this host does not exist. I first tought this was a setup problem in postfix, but it looks like a DNS problem. When I tried to sent a mail to you, I got an error which said my machine couldn't find smtp.concentric.net. In your DNS entry, smtp.concentric.net is defined as your MX host, i.e. the host to which all mail must be send. Clearly you did not define a backup MX host, or this one would have been tried secondly and my mail would have been sent. Also, your own machine tries to send mail for the domain concentric.net to smtp.concentric.net and is does not find this host. These are the error messages in your mail log. You must fix 2 things: - 1 - Define a host called smtp in your DNS and configure it to take the mail for the domain concentric.net (DNS and Postfix config). - 2 - Tell your own machine - if the domain concentric.net is your own domain - to deliver the mail locally. (Postfix config). I hope this helps. Regards, Cees.
