Hi,
I have configured the qmail and it is working on two of the machines
over my LAN. I have given have given names to the two hosts and local
domain as well.
My locals file contains : mailmladelhi.mladelhi.mine.nu
My defaultdomain file contains: mladelhi.mine.nu
locals file on other machine contains : ashwin.mladelhi.mine.nu
defaultdomain file contains: mladelhi.mine.nu
Now i have three users on both the machines and one of them is aliased
for postmaster, mailerdaemon.
I am successful in sending and receive mails among the local users on
each machine. But when i try to send mails from an user from one
machine to the other, it does not receive the mails. I checked the
/var/log/qmail/current file which says:
>>@400000003f606b71130919ac new msg 1370290
>>@400000003f606b7113092d34 info msg 1370290: bytes 276 from

>>@400000003f606b7700b23324 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
I am using the /var/qmail/bin/sendmail command to send the mails.
Can anybody let me know what is the mistake I am committing.
Is this a DNS issue or setting up of MX records.
I want that the mails should be exchanged among different machines
using qmail over LAN with the email address e.g.
user(a)ashwin.mladelhi.mine.nu or user(a)mailmladelhi.mladelhi.mine.nu..
Thanks in advance for your precious attention and help.
