Greetings, I have djbdns installed and working. I have been using DNS on my LAN and having it resolve the names for my local machines. It forwards any unresolved to my ISP's dns server. Recently, I have installed qmail on my LAN for internal email. I used the ./add-mx to add a mx record for my machine which is running qmail. the mx record in the data file looks like: @osborneindustries.com:192.168.1.89:a::86400 If I send test mail to darryl@osborneindustries.com, it gets forwarded to my ISP's email server. If I send email to darryl@mail.osborneindustries.com (name of my qmail server), it gets delivered just fine. How do I get my mx record setup so that user@osborneindustries.com gets delivered to mail.osborneindustries.com ? here are a couple of tests that I ran: mail# host -t mx osborneindustries.com 192.168.1.1 Using domain server 192.168.1.1: osborneindustries.com mail is handled (pri=0) by a.mx.osborneindustries.com mail# host a.mx.osborneindustries.com 192.168.1.1 Using domain server 192.168.1.1: a.mx.osborneindustries.com has address 192.168.1.89 thanks in advance, Darryl
