Hi, I have this problem my email server's DNS name is ns1.mydomain.com, and it is registered in the reverse DNS also with that name, when i installed my server at the hostname i entered centos-server.mydomain.com when i tried to send an email from the root console with # mail root the email is returned saying that root at centos-server.mydomain.com, could not be verified i used the command # hostname ns1.mydomain.com and also edited the file. /etc/hosts, but i have the same result, the hostname did not change, i even restart my server with no luck. what am I missing? regards, Guillermo. PS my server is a CentOS 4.4, with postfix -- Guillermo Garron "Linux IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are." (Using FC5, CentOS4.4 and Ubuntu 6.06)

I find it truly amazing. Can I borrow a bunch of money? Or, Maybe you should go to your website at www.mydomain.com and call your experts at 1 (360) 449-5989 ... I am sure they could help you. :-) or ...Many times it actually helps if you would just tell us the un-edited information so we could really try and help you. - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net
