Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear powerful hackers: My ISP had my site's DNS info set up and everything worked fine as far as surfingi the net's concern. But I want to let my users get their mails, too. I did a nslookup for the MX records my ISP did for me, here's what I found. nslookup -querytype=mx mysite.com. ns.value.net. nslookup responded: Server: ns.value.net Address: 204.188.125.5 mysite.com preference = 5, mail exchanger = value.net mysite.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = pair.com mysite.com nameserver = ns.value.net mysite.com nameserver = www.value.net mysite.com nameserver = ns1.pair.com value.net internet address = 204.188.125.4 pair.com internet address = 207.86.128.11 ns.value.net internet address = 204.188.125.5 www.value.net internet address = 204.188.125.8 ns1.pair.com internet address = 207.86.128.11 Apparenty there's no MX record for mysite.com. Can I assume that I am not able to run sendmail for all of the users on my site because no mail will be forward to my site? If the answer is yes, what should I tell my ISP to amend that and further, what do I need to do (for example: configuring my sendmail.cf) to receive and deliver the mail for my site? If the answer is no, what can I do to make that happen? Pointers are greatly appreciated. Please cc me. (*) Of course the site name is not mysite.com!!!
