The computer I use mainly is called baby.espersunited.com My server box is called bullet.espersunited.com. I don't have any kind of local DNS for my network, just /etc/host files (each computer has a copy of the same file) I want baby's local mail to be sent to bullet so that I can retrieve it in the same account as all my other mail (non-local). Theoretically I should just have to edit /etc/mail/aliases on baby to say that root's mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but every time I try to send mail from baby to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the error that says "Could not send mail for 4 hours", etc, so I think that my /etc/hosts file is not adequate to serve as DNS. Do I need to set up a local DNS server, or is there an easier way?
