I am tring to setup mail at my house and I am having problems with mail
going to <user>@<domain.name>. When I send mail addresed like that it
just comes back to the machine I sent it from with a "...local
configuration error...DNS error". I have a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box running as
the primary DNS server and a Linux 2.0.0 running as the secondary DNS
server. Both are running sendmail, which I don't think should matter,
and I have put an MX record in the DNS tables to point to the machine I
want to receieve all my mail. 

I am still a bit of a novice with a lot of this stuff, and I do have a
lot of reference material to help me on my way, but this one has me
stopped. I can make my DNS tables available if that would help.

-=Any help would be greatly appreciated=-

Thanx,
Jesse Edelman
