#define quoting(Nick Liu) // // People told me if I want to allow users on my server to send/receive mail, // I have to modify the MX record(s). // // Where is the MX record? Is there an example some where? It's an entry in the DNS configuration. If you are running your owm named, read the documentation. If someone else runs, ask to add the records. It's something like this in your zone file: $ORIGIN coppe.ufrj.br. gaia IN A 146.164.63.4 mailhost IN MX 0 gaia cisi IN A 146.164.63.3 IN MX 0 cisi IN MX 10 gaia Note also that this is not really necessary. It just to make email host aliases and mail spoolers. In the configuration above, mailhost is a host alias for gaia and gaia is also a mail spooler (exchanger) for cisi. HTH, // // Thanks.
