To test if your DNS setup is corect. Do the following
dig yourdomain.com mx
if it comes up with your IP , than your DNS is working and you can move on
to fixing Sendmail.
Good Luck

Hello
first of all i would like to wish all of you a merry christmas!!!!
second, i have a problem with my mailserver. My server is a webserver/mail- and nameserver. ( all in one) Everything is working but, here it comes, i cannot recieve e-mail. I have registrered a domain and filed MX records, made zone files at my own nameserver with MX and a CNAME to my mailserver.
when i use nmap all the necesary ports are open. even with Suse firwall 2 not started at boot i can't receive mail. How come?
Any ideas are more than welcome.
bye
Ger
