Hold on! on ethic's /etc/host's file I had the *wrong* IP. "deb" is my to-be new Linux server with 10.47.0.115 as its internal IP. Now I can ping and dig and nslookup the computer *correctly*. This is outstanding. The next thing is to get mail on "deb"; how do I do that? A few years ago a friend installed dovecot on ethic.thought.org. Is there an easy way of plugging in docot into "deb.thought.org"? thanks in advance. > > > -- > Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix > Voice By Computer (for Universal Access): http:/www.thought.org/vbc > The 8.57a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org > Twenty-five years of service to the Unix community. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
