On our LAN we have three PCs: baby.espersunited.com, bullet.espersunited.com, and blossom.espersunited.com. Blossom is our newest addition and it is my wife's personal computer, as baby is mine. Blossom's hard drive is not large enough to hold Windows and Linux and my wife would rather have her full installation of Windows ME if she cannot have both. We're planning to upgrade the hard drive soon. Anyway, she now uses my computer (baby) for her Linux needs including various cron jobs. Unfortunately, baby's cron sends cron reports for cron jobs through local mail on baby. bullet.espersunited.com (I mentioned before) holds our mail/ftp/www servers. It is running Fedora Core 1 because I have other users relying on it and I don't trust myself to have Gentoo installation with everything working correctly on it in a timely manner. I'll have to wait until we get another PC that can do bullet's job until I'm confident that everything works right. Anyway, bullet is running an IMAP server. My wife uses blossom and baby to get her mail from there. I cannot figure out how to get baby to mail it's cron reports to bullet so that my wife can pick them up there from her computer. I've tried using the mail command on baby to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (bullet.espersunited.com is also recognized by my ISP's DNS database to point to the same address as espersunited.com; my router handles the rest), but the mail I sent just came to my local inbox here on baby. Do I need to set up my own local DNS server for espersunited.com? I have all computers on the network identified in /etc/hosts. How can I fix this so that my wife doesn't have to log onto baby to check her cron mail?
