About MX records, you should pick up a book on named and bind since MX records are handled via DNS. As far as how to configure sendmail, I just use the documentation in the source tree. Poke around the FreeBSD source tree (availible via FTP from ftp.cdrom.com all layed out so you can easily browse it). In the cf directory of sendmail, there is a good readme that will talk about masquerading and other features that might have changed since the book you have on sendmail was published. > >Thanks. > > >Yao-Wen Stephen Tsai 3/8/95 > -- Justin T.
