It seems not to be right, because:
If I have and /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.10 samba.michistest.ir
192.168.0.10 mail.michistest.ir
192.168.0.20 michelle1.michistest.ir
192.168.0.30 tp570.michistest.ir
it would not work since a REVERSE-Lookuo to <mail.michitest.ir> will
resolv <samba.michistest.ir>. Putting the MAILSERVER on the first
entry after <localhost> like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.10 mail.michistest.ir
192.168.0.10 samba.michistest.ir
192.168.0.20 michelle1.michistest.ir
192.168.0.30 tp570.michistest.ir
will work properly...
Otherwise my OWN courier-server would not work here.

So, I have no "named" running in my local network with currently 26
machines active but it still works. How comes?
I can not believe, that it is Debian-Specific... The Servers are running
Etch and the Workstations mixed Sarge, Etch, Lenny and Sid

Hmmm...
Note: My domain (I have changed the domainname) is registered
but only for private use which include my mailhost...
