Hello everyone,

I've got a situation that I need help with.  It's not a qmail
question specifically, though I'm using qmail in this case.

We've got an ISDN connection to our ISP via a Netgear NAT-enabled
router. So, our local machines are all in 192.168.x.x, and the 
router translates them to our assigned ISP address when it connects.

That part is working fine.  HOWEVER, we need to use one of the 
machines here as a local mail server on the 192.168.x.x net (for
internal mail) and as the gateway to the internet.  I know that I
need the ISP to have an MX for our domain, pointing to one of his
mail servers.  And I probably need to use fetchmail to connect 
periodically and get our mail (or is it serialmail?).  How do I set
qmail to deliver mail to our domain locally, and hold everything
else for forwarding?  I am assuming that I need fetchmail or
serialmail, correct?

What about the DNS setup?  I know that we need an MX to point
the world to our ISP, but how does our ISP know to deliver to
us?

Sorry if this is too basic for this list... a reference would
be appreciated so I can read up on it.

Thanks.
-Scott
