[nos-bbs] getting mail into the BBS

Dear all,

after the connection to Telpac nodes work, I'm facing now the problem 
getting the mails fetched from WL2K into the BBS (and also those I sent 
internally).

Mails coming in from WL2K are stuck in the SMTP queue inside JNOS:

jnos> smtp list
S   Job   Size Date  Time  Host                 From
L     2    198 02/18 18:53 dl1thm.ampr.org      dl1thm at dl1thm.ampr.org
   To: dl1thm
jnos>

Futhermore, if I send a mail inside the BBS to myself:

[JNOS-2.0d-BFHIM$]
You have 0 messages.
Area: dl1thm (#1) >
s dl1thm at dl1thm
To: dl1thm.ampr.org
Subject:
test
Enter message.  End with /EX or ^Z in first column (^A aborts):
test
/ex
Msg queued
Area: dl1thm (#1) >

Those mails also end up in the SMTP queue:

jnos> smtp list
S   Job   Size Date  Time  Host                 From
L     2    198 02/18 18:53 dl1thm.ampr.org      dl1thm at dl1thm.ampr.org
   To: dl1thm
L    22    206 03/12 17:47 dl1thm.ampr.org      dl1thm at dl1thm.ampr.org
   To: dl1thm at dl1thm

A smtp kick doesn't help:

jnos> smtp trace
SMTP tracing: 9999
jnos> smtp kick
jnos>

But a

jnos> smtp kick dl1thm.ampr.org

Will stuck jnos if no external network is attached! If it is, some mail 
(the one I sent myself inside the bbs!) is delivered to my isp's smtp 
server, this other one keeps in to queue. But I would like to have all 
those local mails delivered to the internal BBS.

Here's what I set to autoexec.nos (I hope I copy all the relevant settings):

ip address 192.168.1.2    (<--- this is the tun device's address)

hostname dl1thm.ampr.org
ax25 mycall dl1thm

attach tun tun0 1500 0
ifconfig tun0 ipaddress 192.168.1.2
ifconfig tun0 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig tun0 mtu 1500

smtp ga mail.physik.uni-wuppertal.de
smtp usemx on
smtp timer 300
start ax25
start telnet
start smtp
start ttylink
start forward
mbox attend on

in domain.txt I've set this:

dl1thm.ampr.org.        0       IN      A       192.168.1.2
dl1thm.ampr.org.        0       IN      MX      10      dl1thm.ampr.org

Any ideas?

Thanks for any hint,

   Torsten DL1THM
