Re: [9fans] dns failure

Ok, to get as much debug as you can,
first try to send some mail.

once that has failed, do:
	tail /sys/log/runq

you should get somthing like this:

	May  3 10:46:10 steve/C.225661: execing '/mail/lib/remotemail' 'smtp' 'steve' 'net!$smtp' 'theirname@theirdomain.com' 

so, cut and pasteing from that you can run
remotemail under rc-x like this:

	rc -x '/mail/lib/remotemail' 'smtp' 'steve' 'net!$smtp' 'theirname@theirdomain.com'

which will give you some more debug, the last line of which is:

	exec /bin/upas/smtp -i -a -h mydomain.com 'net!$smtp' my-username-on-my-mail-relay theirname@theirdomain.com

interrupt this, and you can now re-run smtp, adding a -d option
to see the smtp debug:

	/bin/upas/smtp -d -i -a -h mydomain.com 'net!$smtp' my-username-on-my-mail-relay theirname@theirdomain.com

	expanding /net!$smtp
	sending /net/dns 'my.mail.relay.com mx'
	dns: dns: resource does not exist
	mxdial trying /net/net!mymailrelay.mydomain.com!smtp
	220 my.mail.relay.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at  Thu, 3 May 2007 14:10:40 +0100 
	EHLO myhost.mydomain.com
	250-mymailrelay.mydomain.com Hello [192.168.253.1]
	250-TURN
	250-SIZE
	...etc

somwhere here you should be able see where your problem is occuring.
