Oh it does work WITHOUT ANY DNS now
It isn't, though. Courier does lookups entirely through DNS. It doesn't use the C library's NSS routines, so the hosts file isn't used.
It seems not to be right, because:
If I have and /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.10 samba.michistest.ir 192.168.0.10 mail.michistest.ir 192.168.0.20 michelle1.michistest.ir 192.168.0.30 tp570.michistest.ir
it 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.
Its simply bullshit to say /etc/host does not and it must be dns
No, it isn't. /etc/hosts is not used by Courier. If your problem was related to IPv6, then you can't infer anything about DNS or the hosts file from that problem. They're unrelated.
So, I have no "named" running in my local network with currently 26 machines active but it still works. How comes?
I can not believe, that it is Debian-Specific... The Servers are running Etch and the Workstations mixed Sarge, Etch, Lenny and Sid
Actually, your ISP's DNS *should* resolve localhost. RFC 1912 clarifies this name server requirement. The hosts file works for simple name lookups through the C library's NSS routines, but that's not what Courier uses.
Hmmm...
Note: My domain (I have changed the domainname) is registered but only for private use which include my mailhost...
