DNS issues - Suse 10

Hello,
Just set up Bind on Suse 10, to replace an MS DNS server, and everything
appears to be working well except for the MX record; an MX entry was made
for the domain in Bind. When I point a Linux workstation to the Bind server,
I can ping everything and find entries via nslookup and dig, however when I
try to use 'mail user@mydomain.com', I get the following error and the
e-mail doesn't make it to its destination;
Pointed to Linux DNS;

Can you post the zone? Jan Engelhardt --

However, when I point the Linux workstation to the MS DNS server, the mail gets through;

James, Bind is bulletproof, but it is a PITA to get set up the first time. The syntax takes a little patients to get used to. (i.e. trailing "dot" or "no dot") My favorite setup is to have the server run bind and dhcpd with dhcpd doing dynamic updates to the DNS zones. One useful link is: http://www.madboa.com/geek/soho-bind/ Don't forget the the Bind9 administrator manual link at the bottom of the page. Here, as an example, is my forward zone: nemesis:/home/david # cat /var/lib/named/dyn/3111skyline.com $ORIGIN . $TTL 172800 ; 2 days 3111skyline.com IN SOA nemesis.3111skyline.com. root.3111skyline.com.
