Hello FreeBSD'ers I have a problem that I have tried for a few days to solve. Obviously I would not write and ask for it here had I been able to solve it. The problem is, I can mail this list and anwhere else and get replies. Except to my own LAN. I can mail a user or myself (as another user on another FreeBSD box). However when tring to reply I get the same message...user uknown. This machine I am mailing from is not a dns server and is FreeBSD 3.3-stable. Here is a view of what happens from my FreeBSD box, Freedom: lnb@freedom:~$ mail -v eliezer@satan.cybertouch.org Subject: test 100 test blah . EOT eliezer@satan.cybertouch.org... User unknown /home/lnb/dead.letter... Saved message in /home/lnb/dead.letter Now the same thing but from the box satan.cybertouch.org: eliezer@satan:~$ mail -v lnb@cybertouch.org Subject: test 1500 test blah . EOT lnb@cybertouch.org...
