Title: RE: email domain

I have checked rcpthost, locals, and me
and all are configured to mydomain.com

Let change the picture

computername = host1
hostname = host1
domain = local.mydomain.com
entries on the DNS:

host1 IN A ip
host2 IN A same ip
IN MX 10 host2.local.mydomain.com.

now i tried changing the hosts file from

"ip address     host1.local.mydomain.com        host1" to
"ip address     host2.local.mydomain.com        host2"

restarted the system.  used pine to send mail but still
no change. the sender's address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i'm getting to think that the mail domain is binded on your computer name "hostname"
and not on the host which is delcared on your hosts file.

please correct me if i'm wrong.

again i apologise for this since i really want to learn Qmail

Regards,
Benjie
