Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 08:54:35 -0700 Organization: Best Internet Communications Lines: 18 Message-ID: <31EFAFBB.172D@best.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.86.227.15 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02Gold (Win95; I) Gentle Folk, I'm having some problems with email on freeBSD. We are primarily using pop3 (Eudora Light) clients to access email. When used localy (i.e. within our network) it works great, the problem is with email coming from the internet, or even sent localy with "@somedomain.com" tagged on. The mail seems to be finding the machine (I've seen it in /var/spool/mqueue) but it's not distributing to the clients mailboxes. I first thought that it had to do with the fact that I hadn't pointed to the name server ( because I hav'nt figured out how, but that's another subject! :) ) but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since I've seen the mail on the machine! It should at least know it's own name! I am (obviously) new to freeBSD, but have enjoyed every minute I've been working with it. I have also enjoyed the support from the Internet community! Thank you very much for your help, and I hope that I will one day be able to answer more questions on this newsgroup than I ask! Chris
