DNSStuff is a bit too fussy here. >I have 2 domains, electrichendrix.com and mytimewithgod.net. Both are >through dyndns.com as i have 1 dhcp address from my provider.

Thus, mail to lists.mytimewithgod.net is delivered via mytimewithgod.net which is fine. Also, mail to mytimewithgod.net will work too because mytimewithgod.net has a single A record and even though DNSStuff doesn't like it, this is sufficient for delivery of mail. > >Here is the problem, i believe.......mail from the mailserver is being >rejected by the webserver as "relay access denied". On the webserver, >which has postfix, in main.cf i have entered relayhost = >main.mail.server but i still get the same response "relay access >denied". I think this affects outgoing mail, not incoming mail. It may or may not be required/desirable depending on whether you need/want Postfix to deliver mail via the mailserver box. >I have asked on the postfix mailinglist, how to have postfix >accept mail from my webserver. Still waiting for a reply. That's the right place to ask. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
