hi

hope you are using sendmail as your MTA (as it is widely used in unix environment). if so what is the entry for your official domain name in /etc/sendmail.cf...it is the Dj$w which defines the official domain name.

and what is there after DM

it should look like DMdns1.abc.net which masquerades your domain to look like as it is coming from dns1.abc.net

hope this helps

with best wishes
