Ocicat is my central mail server that's running phpGroupware, IMAP, and Sendmail. When I send an email to euglug.org, it goes directly to willamette.net instead of using the smart relay at nu-world.com. That way when my ISP changes again, I don't have to remember to change the mail server. Sendmail is as simple and as close to stock as possible and still allow the users functioning email. > >Does ocicat have a DNS server on it?
