Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.22 Message-Id: <1C19BC5276F@gab.unt.edu> Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have configured a few FreeBSD boxes with NIS and it seems when sending mail it appends the domain to the address...for instance my host is ulantris.csci.unt.edu and I had it in the .cas.unt.edu nis domain. Replied mail would get ulantris.csci.unt.edu.cas.unt.edu... is there a way to turn this off, or should the NIS domain and the DNS domain always be the same?. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- College of Arts & Sciences Computing Services John A.
