Hi Gang,

I have 2 questions:

1st
Well I would like to get sendmail going to at least be able to send mail out of my linux box. I followed the HOWTO and install the Berkeley DB, procmail, and the new sendmail. Now when I do the newaliases and I get this error:

WARNING: local host name (linuxhome) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
/etc/aliases: 2 aliases, longest 4 bytes, 31 bytes total
Can anyone help

2nd
I want to configure on another linux box and install a mail deamon to get all mail from a "anyname"@domain.com and route it to local users on my windows network. What should I do and use?

Thanks

etc/hosts is usually not correct when it gives that type of error

retrieve mail from a server with fetchmail

receive mail with a sendmail, postfix, or some other smtp server

distribute mail with pop or imap server

all could be done with the same machine,

running pop, and smtp or imap. postfix is easier to setup than sendmail.

Thanks a lot David for all your responses I will try that, looks like a plan....

One last thing is RH7.2 better or the same as SuSE, I have both which should I use?

Well RedHat has up2date which keeps your computer updated with all the latest erata. So if a new bug or security fix comes out, they email you and you can schedule the update from anywhere, if your machine has a connection all the time.

That's one reason I use RedHat on my machine that is connected directly to the internet. Other than that there's not much difference. All of them can be configured the same way.

Thanks a MILLION......
