Yeah, I have a domain straight to my IP, sipca.org. (It's a little pesky,
because the organization I run the server has a Windows Domain network with
the same name.... so at the moment they can't access www.sipca.org on the web
because every time they do it finds their Windows Domain Controller and
think's it's www.sipca.org... blasted Windows messed things up again)
Anyway, I might be able to figure it out with google now, but while we're on
the topic, how do I "tell postfix" that it's running for sipca.org? Via
webmin, preferably, but I can handle a little config-file editing now and
again... newbie though I be.
Thanx,
SigmaChi
