Re: Sending mail from LAN.
Hello Stephen, I've done some work on our DNS server, but I am unfimiliar with a valid MX record. How do I go about this, or if you prefer, do you know of a nice doc on the subject.

Re: Sending mail from LAN.
The best doc IMO is DNS and Bind from O'Reilly. If you are goiung to be administering DNS suggest you buy it. I assume you have a server that does DNS for the zone called systematic.lan. If you are using Bind, add to the zone file after the ORIGIN statment (or the @ symbol) a record like: IN MX 10 mail then, if necessary, add an A record for the mail server. mail IN Aip.address.of.machine It will end up something like: $TTL3600 @ IN SOA dns.systematic.lan. domainadmin.systematic.co.za. ( 17 ; serial 3H ; refresh 15M ; retry 1W ; expire 3600 ) ; default IN NS dns IN MX 10 mail mailIN A192.168.12.69 etc... IF you are using Windoes, select New Mail Exchanger and fill in the values. Make sure there is an A record for the mail server. Do NOT point an MX name to a CNAME record (Alias on Windoes). You have been warned!

Sending mail from LAN.
Hello all. I've managed to sort out sending mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , many thanks to all who replied.
