Well, if your computer is connected to the internet, it has a host/domain
name. What is it?
Sorry, I don't understand "FQDN", does it means that I have to specify a
server name in that file?
Yes. FQDN = fully-qualified domain name, as in mail.zygoat.ca.
(something that will resolve to something meaningful from anywhere on the
internet)
Normally courier will figure out what your server's name is without you
needing to expressly specify it in the 'me' file. But if that's not the
case, e.g. if you have bogus host/domain name set up in your general
networking config, then you'll need to specify it expressly.
All the mail servers or just someones behave like this?
What do you mean?
The point is, courier needs to know your server's canonical identity if
it is going to play properly with the rest of the internet.
Thank you very much. I deleted "me" file because I believed that having a
domain name (bogus,not registered) in etc/locals ( and in esmtpacceptmailfor
off course...) was enought to use smtp properly. I have just create a "me"
file with a dot name and the handshake HELO/EHLO with this server is now ok,
but a "strange" error message come me from my own server saying that my ip
address is in the DULS RBL. What it means? Black list? Is it possible? More
important is that seems not to be the problem I am posted about.
My last question was about:
During the handshake....all the servers don't accept "no dot name"? Or only
some?
Thanks again
