Hi All,
I think what Michelle is trying to say is that courier seems to be getting information from /etc/hosts, as evidenced by the fact that switching the order of the 2nd and 3rd lines in /etc/hosts makes a difference in how a reverse-lookup from courier will resolve.
IIRC, courier uses gethostbyxxxx() calls and perhaps these functions consult /etc/hosts under the covers? I know that in Solaris, the gethostbyxxxx() functions provide what looks like DNS functionality by first consulting /etc/nsswitch.conf, and then consulting the appropriate name services (files, DNS, NIS, LDAP) listed therein.

it would not work
What would not work?
since a REVERSE-Lookuo to <mail.michitest.ir> will resolv <samba.michistest.ir>. Putting the MAILSERVER on the first entry after <localhost> like:
127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.10 mail.michistest.ir 192.168.0.10 samba.michistest.ir 192.168.0.20 michelle1.michistest.ir 192.168.0.30 tp570.michistest.ir
will work properly...
Otherwise my OWN courier-server would not work here.
Clarify how you think that information is used. I have no idea where you're going with that.
So, I have no "named" running in my local network with currently 26 machines active but it still works. How comes?
Because DNS isn't required to accept messages for relay?
Note: My domain (I have changed the domainname) is registered but only for private use which include my mailhost...
What does "is registered" mean?
