Hi, Was going to attempt to set up a local mail server running freebsd 6.0 stable. So far haven't set up the mail server yet, but was doing a little googling and reading the handbook, and ran the command host -t mx <domain.tld> NOTE: inserted my domain in <domain.tld> When running the command: host -t mx <domain.tld> It returns: domaint.tld.domain.tld This certainly don't look appropiate. A little background info: The domain I own is through godaddy.com and have the dns servers pointing to zoneedit.com to point to my static ip and domain.tld. My ISP is Bellsouth, and won't run a reverse DNS for my domain name so I use ZoneEdit.com to point to my home address <static IP>. Shouldn't the comand "host -t mx domain.tld" just return "domain.tld"?? If this isn't correct how can i correct? Thanks, JP
