    Hello all,

    Thank you all those who replied and asked to configure me the Smart relay
    host in sendmail to forward mails to virus scanner.

    But when I did that , the mails bounced back saying Host unknown (Name
    server: mailgateway.cdfd.org.in: host not found) .

    I have included the mailgateway in /etc/hosts file.
    I think I have to put in the DNS also.

    We are maintaining Primary DNS at our end. but local name resolution is
    through /etc/hosts file only.

    I did not assign any Public IP for mailgateway.cdfd.org.in

    So if i give the private IP in the DNS will it be resolved.

    our named.hosts file is as follows
    *******************************
    ; Authoritative data for Berkeley.EDU (ORIGIN assumed Berkeley.EDU)
    ;
    @ IN SOA www.cdfd.org.in. root.www.cdfd.org.in. (

                    IN MX 100 www.cdfd.org.in.
                    IN MX 10 cdfd.org.in.
                    IN NS www.cdfd.org.in.
                    IN NS cdfd.org.in.
                    IN NS sunserver.cdfd.org.in.
    localhost IN A 127.1
    www IN A 210.212.212.3
    cdfd.org.in. IN A 210.212.212.3
    sunserver.cdfd.org.in. IN A 210.212.212.7
    ***********************************

    so if i give an entry as

    IN NS mailgateway.cdfd.org.in.
    mailgateway.cdfd.org.in. IN A 172.16.0.10

    will the mails be routed to the mailgateway(virus scanner).

    Please help.

    Regards

    Geetha Thanu
