I've got host: catherine ~ # host catherine.espersunited.com catherine.espersunited.com has address 70.234.122.251 catherine.espersunited.com mail is handled by 1 catherine.espersunited.com. catherine ~ # mx catherine.espersunited.com -bash: mx: command not found But why would this affect catherine's ability to send mail within the network? I'm mainly interested in stuff sent by cron. I even have an alias in /etc/aliases that forwards all mail sent to root to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
