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?
