Can anyone explain why I cannot ping my domain when pinged as acatysmoof.com? The main reason I want to do this is because I would like to send mail to this address, but right now no mail server can resolve it. :( Thanks, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
