Both, you need the A or MX record so that outside hosts connect to esimene, then you need esimene itself to realize that it is also being addressed as ``cynet.net.au''. Add/Change the Cw line in /etc/sendmail.cf to read: Cwlocalhost cynet.net.au > Any help or pointers to FAQs etc would be great! O'Reiley's bat book ``Sendmail'' is a must have for anyone doing much of anything with sendmail. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
