Do you have a DNS MX record pointing to your FBSD system for your domain? Is sendmail configured on your box to accept mail for this domain? Is your box on-line 24/7 ..if not, it is essential to have a cross mailer. If you have e-mail accounts elswhere, the process would involve using fetchmail to pull mail from the outside into the various internal mail boxes. If you have a limited time on-line, this would be more efficient. (ie. grab mail once per hour....) Have you got a pop server set up on your box? For the surfing part, are you running NAT or address aliasing (ppp has an aliasing option) or are you proxying out of your box from the inside net? >Would I have to create an account for all of them and have them all loged in >at the same time?? > >Just point me in the right direction. > >Thanks >Rick > >-- >Rick Knebel >rknebel@uplink.net >http://woodstock.csrlink.net/~bknebel > >Soon to be http://rknebel.uplink.net > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
