Hello!!

anyone help me!!!



by , thanks!!!

You have to setup a MX record, that tell's other SMTP server where to direct your mail. For POP3 and such, just add a host record, and that's it.

here is a explanation .dns file for a machine whit pop and mail server running in the same machine.


$TTL 3600

yourdom.com. IN SOA ns1.yourdom.com. admin.yourdom.com. (

040630 ; Serial
10800 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
604800 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum TTL

; DNS Servers
@ IN NS ns1.yourdom.com.
@ IN NS ns2.yourdom.com.

; Machine Names
localhost IN A x.x.x.x
dns1 IN A x.x.x.x
dns2 IN A x.x.x.x
www IN A x.x.x.x
@ IN A x.x.x.x
ftp IN A x.x.x.x
yourdom.com. IN MX 10 x.x.x.x


where x.x.x.x is your server ip number.
if you want more info i recomend you to read some BIND howto.

i hope this help you.

if you wanna do that you have to chroot one mini system in each home directory. i never do that but for this to work, you must have a complete working filesystem in each
home directory (/home/foo/dev /home/foo/bin /home/foo/usr/bin /home/foo/etc
...).

This is not usually what you want for normal users, i recommend you to just start one ftp server like pureftpd, and enable the chroot option.
