Yeah, but I don't have much of a connection (see below). | school they created a 'students' subdomain in which anyone could | get a DNS record - ask the people at rit.edu if they can do that | for you, hudson.rit.edu or hudson.students.rit.edu. Ofcourse then When I was living on campus I had "dman.rh.rit.edu" (rh is Resident Halls, even though I was in an on-campus apartment). I also had a nice T3 connection too. Now I am back home with only dial-up. I only need to get mail out (ssmtp works for that) but I wanted to have local delivery also (and more importantly, I needed to have a way of testing my simple smtp client (school project) without tying up the phone all day). | you need to do something with that domain - set the primary MX | to your box if you have a permanent connection and a static IP | address, or put all mail for the domain in a POP3 mailbox that | you can collect using fetchmail, or use UUCP (old but perfectly | suited to these kinds of situations). No, I only have dialup right now. Thanks for the suggestions though, -D
