I also have apache running on one of the servers. As far as I can : tell these work fine. Although I am having problems setting up a pop3 mail : server. If I do a nslookup on my host computers, everything comes up fine, : but if I try to do a nslookup on just my domain name (i.e. mydomain.com) : nothing shows up. Shouldn't something show up?? (the ip address for my dns : server???) Nope, not unless you explicitly put in an A record for mydomain.com. It's not terribly important either, unless you want people to be able to go to your web site by typing http://domain.com/. : I thought this was taken care of when I defined my domain in my : name server setup. Well, back to the pop3 mail server problem. I can : retreive any mail that I have on my server (remotely) but if I try to send : mail I get the following error: (I'm using outlook express in win2000) : : The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's : e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was : 'jason@borderpatrolclan.net'. Subject 'test from remote jason bpclan', : Account: 'mail.borderpatrolclan.net', Server: 'mail.borderpatrolclan.net', : Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 <jason@borderpatrolclan.net>... Sender : domain must exist', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error : Number: 0x800CCC78 This is your mail server saying that the domain "borderpatrolclan.net" in your email address does not exist, and therefore won't deliver it. It's an anti-spam measure. BTW, if "borderpatrolclan.net" is the domain in question, be sure to add the appropriate MX records in the DNS, like so: 1H IN MX mail -- Eugene Lee eugene@anime.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
