I'm gradually getting the bugs out of this thing thanks to all the assistance from the -questions list folk :) > If you are collectiong mail for the entire apana.org.au domain, > perhaps a mailertable is better for you.

I probably didn't explain the situation clearly enough :( Apana is a national organization comprising about a thousand odd members spread through a number of different states in OZ, so I certainly don't wish to handle email for that mob ..... I have a LAN permanently connected to the Apana Queensland POP via dialup modem / FreeBSD 3.2 dual P100 gateway box / sendmail 8.9.3. This box is "bryden.apana.org.au" and I wish to use the bryden.apana.org.au domain for all incoming & outgoing email. As I understand it I don't need to run a local DNS since that is presently handled on the existing POP site. > > > Furthermore I've been told that "relay-domains contains domain names > > of all machines you want to allow relaying for.

I didn't look there before because I figured that the FreeBSD incarnation of sendmail may be a bit different to others so maybe the generic stuff would be somewhat misleading To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
