Bounced Mail - DNS Problems?

[Kevin Miller]

Yup.  Every time a message hits a mail server, it tatoos it with it's
own info.  Your gateway received from your local machine, so added that
received header.  Read received headers from the bottom to the top.
That's the only acceptable instance of 'top posting'. <EG>

Well thats encouraging.....so its "normal" for the info on the actual
local machine to show up as well...the machine from which the client was
running (johnny-lt.johnnystork.ca)?

Thanks for the check/feedback...

	Ok, maybe I have it right now. I added the following to the
local hosts file after creating an A entry for
	
	gateway.johnnystork.ca (points to 207.216.240.22)
	
	
	# Edits to /etc/hosts
	192.168.1.2             int-gateway.johnnystork.ca
int-gateway
	207.216.240.22          gateway.johnnystork.ca          gateway
	207.216.240.22          smtp.johnnystork.ca             smtp
	
	
	I then change the sendmail forwarding on the scalix server
(penguin.johnnystork.ca, 192.168.1.3) so it points to
int-gateway.johnnystork.ca.
	
	So take a look at the headers in this reply. Do they look
correct now? I "think" so....but  am still learning about mail server
configurations.
	
	And thanks to everyone for all of your helpful suggestions

then add the DNS A record for

			That would work, but another option is to have
two records in DNS:    int-gateway    IN A 192.168.1.2 
			  gateway        IN A 207.216.240.22 
			and point the Scalix box to int-gateway.  You
retain the benefits of DNS 
			that way. 
			
			Yet another option is to set up bind to have
multiple views.  My 
			internal users see one list of records, external
users see another.  The 
			hostname may be the same, but the address
returned by DNS is different 
			depending on whether they're on my internal lan
or the internet...

		Ahhh very nice.  I didn't even consider that.  :)
