Domain of sender address root@xerxies.niicommunications.com does not exist) I thought entering xerxies.niicommunications.com in /etc/mail/relay-domains would sove this problem, but it does not. strangely, if I add it to /etc/hosts it does?? at anyrate, why does relay-domains not work? I guess I am about to put accept_unresolvable_ domains in my .mc file.. but an explanation would be nice. Thanks for any help on this issue.
