yourdomain.com + found errors in mail.log

[twocows77]

Ok two questions;

1)i am trying to setup spamassasin and i am being asked for _yourdomain.com ... just because i had put in mail.mydomain.com in the past i am confusing myself and hope i am right when i am typing in just mydomain.com instead of mail.mydomain.com right?

at times, people are sending me emails to my domain and they are not showing up. at all. at times, emails pop up real fast. i wonder whats going on.

these are correct ?

/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run for example i have this line;

exec tcpserver -H -R -v -c100 0 110 qmail-popup mail.mydomain.com \

in the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail/qmail-smtpd/run i have:

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mail.mstrades.com \



2)
i am finding this in the /var/mail.log file for each user.

Jun 6 16:00:10 localhost imaplogin: Failed to create cache file: maildirwatch (webmaster@mydomain.com)
Jun 6 16:00:10 localhost imaplogin: Error: Input/output error
Jun 6 16:00:10 localhost imaplogin: Check for proper operation and configuration
Jun 6 16:00:10 localhost imaplogin: of the File Access Monitor daemon (famd).


by the way, this is on debian sarge.

I'm not sure about the IMAP problem, but for your 1st question...

The qmail supervise scripts should always have your server's hostname. If you're mail server is called "mail.whaterver.com", then use that. If it's called greeneggsandham, use that.

For the qmail-scanner and Spamassassin setups, you will usually want to use the master domain on your mail server or, in the case of qmail-scanner, a list of the main domains on the server. The domains listed in these setup files are domain which will actually be receiving mail on a daily basis.

Does that help?
