[cobalt-users] /var/run/named.pid - problem

["Paul Shuttleworth" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

HELP!

I have just set up a new site on the server (RAQ4r) and as the ns records
started to change accross the net I noticed that the mail for the new domain
was not being accepted with the following errors.

Oct 17 10:23:33 www sendmail[28539]: g9H9NXe28539: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<sales@xxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[64.73.138.119], reject=550 5.7.1 <sales@xxxxxxxxxxx>... Relaying denied.
Please check your mail first or restart your mail session.

Assuming I had made a mistake with the DNS I revisited  the GUI and checked
all entries. All seemed OK.
I saved the DNS and checked the messages log to find.

I looked up the couldn't create pid file '/var/run/named.pid' error in the
archives and changed the named.pid file to 777 for a quick fix (I know
insecure...). I tried again and the error message is still there.

The webserver side is all functioning fine and the site is serving. The mail
however will not be accepted by the RAQ and the customer is getting ... well
you know how they are!

Any help from anyone?

Paul.
