I would like to have e-mail addresses like: name@my_domain. I am having problems configuring the mail server. DNS works OK, mail server works OK as long as I direct messages to a specific host. Could someone give me some hints and/or pointers ? I already configured the hosts file for DNS with an MX record, and I also did some changes to the sendmail.cf file following the TCP/IP Network Admin book from O'Reilly, however I am getting the following error: ----- The following addresses had delivery problems ----- (unrecoverable error) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 MX list for cabonet.net.mx. points back to dns 554 ... Local configuration error Thanks a lot Santiago Zapata SATEC Mexico ------- End of Forwarded Message
