You should set up your machines to use, say, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc, as 192.168.0.0/16 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0, aka everything in 192.168.*) is reserved for such internal networking uses. The IPs you mentioned are reserved for BBN, a major provider (unless you're a BBN customer and they gave you those IPs). You'll confuse some routers otherwise if BBN puts a customer or some machines on those IPs... > I'm only trying to get exim to work with a simple configration but > I'm confused as to what exactly I should tell eximconfig if that's > enough to configure it. Would somebody help me please? Internet site with smarthost, and you'll be acting as a smarthost for 192.168.0.0/24 if you use netmask 255.255.255.0 (which would give you 192.168.0.*, or 255 IPs for your network). If you recieve your email at your ISP, you'll also want to get fetchmail and set that up for systemwide use. Otherwise, the part about what hostnames it should accept email for should be self explanatory. -- Baloo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
