sorry for asking what must be a trivial question on this list. anyway, i got the mailhub working and am posting here for the archive in case anyone else has this problem. respect to Gregory Neil Shapiro from the sendmail-questions list for help. [snip] I wanted to test this out before replying and just spent 2 hours running between 5 PC's in the office playing virtual users and domains. The configuration that you sent for the zone files works a treat.... and is simpler than i had expected (which is always a good thing). Perfect. >sweeting> Is there any reason NOT to do this ? > >No, you can use the virtual user table for assistance in delivery (see >cf/README). > >sweeting> However, the mail hub (FBSDBox C) is posing a bit of a problem.
