I posted this same message to the newbie list, had -0- replies so, I'll try
here. Thanks.

Well, I know this is probably as simple as falling off a log, but... :-)
I've got a 3 comp LAN, with Mandrake 8.2 on each, using NFS. We can ping each
other by name or IP address, copy files between each other just fine, play
games just fine.
Now...I want to be able to send mail between the 3. The comps names are:
darkforce 192.168.0.1 user-darklord
darkforce2 192.168.0.2 user-zerocool
darkforce3 192.168.0.3 user jeremy
postfix is up and running on each.
I can open a shell, do a "mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" from my own machine,
darkforce, and the mail is sent and received just fine. Trying to do this:
"mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" results in this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the message returned below.
The Postfix program
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Name service error for darkforce2.com: Host not
found
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Or better yet, point me to a good
HOWTO? I tried the google route, found lots of qmail, sendmail and postfix
references, but nothing that helped me specifically. Also, "man mail" didn't
help. I did see a ref. to a .mailrc file in our /home directores, which I
created, but didn't know what to put in it...
Thanks much!
PS I've got things setup so that 192.168.0.1, darkforce, and darkforce.com
all work...so...I wouldn't have had to send a msg as "@darkforce2" would I?
