I am using freeBSD 4.5 default and I have a dynamic ADSL connection using DHCP. No extra installed ports. I have installed q-mail and when I do the ./config I am getting the name given to me from tellus. Since I own my own domain and am pointed from zoneedit.com should I still use what is DHCP or should I over ride defualt DHCP. Is the fully qualified domain name the name I registed? For example, freeBSD.ca? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
