That wouldn't work on my system, and many others. If you do a gethostbyname() you'll get the local unroutable address back - since the internal and external DNS for my namespace are maintained on separate servers. If you are using NAT, then in order to accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see RFC1123 Section 5.2.17), you'll need to include [ip.add.re.ss] in /etc/mail/local-host-names. Why not read that file? _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID. You may ignore it.
