You have provided very little detail, but unless you are neglecting to mention anything important, all you need to do is put a MX record on the DNS machine(s) and set up the new box to understand it accepts mail for the domain (use a cw-file or something equivalent). Directing mail to the server with the MX record is the easy part. Making sure the server does the right things with the mail it gets is the tricky part. I'm not sure what you mean by 'aliases.' -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
