[Sheflug] Mailer failure - listed by mail-abuse.org!!!!

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

I set up qmail a week go to allow another system I've installed
(ArsDigita Community System - http://www.arsdigita.com/) to communicate
with me, and I decided to make it my outgoing mailserver as well.

 I've sent (or tried to send) two emails direct to Martin Holland, a
member of ShefLUG about nameservers.
 Looks like one got through OK.

 Here's one I tried to send about 10 minutes ago (with the return
message from my qmail prog):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at flux.localdomain.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

 OK, I still haven't taken the time to get dnscache to answer queries
coming from machines other than my own, however, it certain does seem
easier to deal with.

 According to the advertising, dnscache is more stable, secure and
quicker than BIND (not hard), however, rather than shutting it down and
restarting when going on and offline, I've just set if-up and if-down to
over write /etc/resolv.conf with:

 nameserver 127.0.0.1 when going online
 
 and

 #nameserver 127.0.0.1 when going offline.

 So far, no hassles.

 So, I assume that freeserve have done something wierd here?

 What's the deal? I haven't had any other bother, and I'm sure as hell
not spamming folk!!!

 Baz.
