Thanks the help Lew! I did those things and it didn't seem to work - if you change the name of a server is there a need to restart any services? I've had the A record for mail.nomealaska.org for several days now. I did forget to fix up the ptr record which still points to nomealaska.org instead of mail. When I configured the email client (Thunderbird) to point to the pop3 server mail.nomealaska.org it changed my email address from nomealaska.org to mail.nomealaska.org. So perhaps that is not what I want to do. I'll need to think this through a bit better. cheers, JD -- Jim Dory Engineering City of Nome PO Box 281 102 Division St. Nome, AK 99762 907.443.6604 http://www.nomealaska.org _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
