hello
still a newbee too

i would like to ask a few questions in setting up my mailserver

environment is simple.....intel based solely running freebsd 4.7 right =
now wnd sendmail 8.12.6 and qpopper 4.0.4

all are running without error.....i think

the host command is replying correctly
my remote dns service a and mx records are fine
ping to the name resolves correctly
host-names file modified with names
inetd running modules without error messages

mailserver sees internet ok

here is the problem i cant track down.....when i send mail to an account =
set up on mailserver (thru adduser)=20
and using an remote source email server.....when i use a pc through =
windows 2000 running outlook express i cannot retrieve the mail...it =
comes back with error message 550 host unknown....

can anyone steer me in the right direction.....checked freebsd =
handbook....freebsd in 24 hours....and usual sites faq...

thanks
den
