I think I'm losing it... I've been running Russ Allbery's
multilog-watch on a couple systems for years, and all of the sudden
I'm getting errors when it tries to mail its reports that seem to be
due to qmail-remote not thinking the local host is listed in
control/locals.
Here's a test:
$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote sws5.ornl.gov root@sws5.ornl.gov root@sws5.ornl.gov
DSorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that
host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as
local. (#5.4.6)
Hmm, so, that message is generated by perm_ambigmx() in qmail-remote,
after comparing the IP in ipme to all of the MX records it found for
the host. The ipme is filled by looking at the output of ioctl with
the SIOCGIFCONF argument.
So my guess would be that you have a DNS issue: your machine either
thinks its IP address is not 160.91.218.105 (unlikely, but worth
checking), or it thinks that sws5.ornl.gov's MX record resolves to
something other than that (e.g. it could resolve to 127.0.0.1).
