Keep this: > rocky.sri.MT.net preference = 0, mail exchanger = rocky.sri.MT.net > rocky.sri.MT.net preference = 5, mail exchanger = sri.MT.net It's ok. Make this: > And, the important DNS stuff for my router box. > sri.MT.net inet address = 204.94.231.129 > sri.MT.net preference = 0, mail exchanger = rocky.sri.MT.net > sri.MT.net preference = 5, mail exchanger = sri.MT.net > rocky.sri.MT.net inet address = 204.182.243.10 look like router IN A 204.94.231.129 IN MX 0 router IN MX 5 rocky This just means that mail addressed directly to router.sri.MT.net will be most preferably delivered to the host itself, or possibly backed up for delivery at rocky (if necessary). and add: sri.MT.net. IN MX 0 rocky IN MX 5 router (You could omit the sri.MT.net. if you place this below the SOA and NS records.) Add Cw sri.MT.net. to rocky's sendmail.cf, so it does accept the mail addressed to the subdomain as its own. Mail addressed to sri.MT.net will be stored at router (on behalf of rocky, i.e. only for later forwarding) if rocky is unreachable, but not further processed. This should get you going. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
