At first: It seems to me as if you are running a qmail
server on your machine with the address omni.arc.itb.ac.id
and now you want it to process all the mail for arc.itb.ac.id
If this is what you want, you have to do two things:
1) You have to make sure, that all messages, that you send out
seem to come from arc.itb.ac.id and not from omni.arc.itb.ac.id
by default.
you do this by editing /var/qmail/control/defaulthost or
/var/qmail/control/defaultdomain. These files
contains the default domain suffix. I do not really know
the difference in the meaning of these two files, but it should be
enough to edit one. Perhaps someone knows the difference and can
tell me.
Do:
echo arc.itb.ac.id > /var/qmail/control/defaulthost
>From now on, all mailaddresses that have no hostpart are going to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
2) But more important is to tell the world, that omni.arc.itb.ac.id
is the default mailserver for your domain arc.itb.ac.id.
To do this you have to configure the DNS server of your domain
properly. you need an MX (mail exchanger) entry, that points to
your mailservers.
something like this in your named configuration files should do it:
arc.itb.ac.id IN MX 10 omni.arc.itb.ac.id
If you are using an other nameserver, you have to consult its
documentation.
If this is not done, MTAs around the world would not know, how to
find the host, that processes the mail for arc.itb.ac.id.
I hope this helped you.
