Hi, I do that without any problem between my two machines (borlap and borixe) using postfix as server (on the recipient machine); my /etc/hosts on all machines is like this: 192.168.0.1 borrout borrout.bornier.net 192.168.0.254 borlap borlap.bornier.net 192.168.0.253 borixe borixe.bornier.net 127.0.0.1 localhost no dns needed as long you associate hostnames and ip addresses in the file hth, -- Jean Magnan de Bornier | Cours Victor Hugo e-mots: jean at bornier.net | 13980 Alleins France T 08 70 39 34 03 | P 06 09 17 35 87 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
