Add an A record for xxx.yyy.com. 'host yahoo.com' demonstrates. You may also need to add a virtual host for xxx.yyy.com in your web server configuration, if you're using virtual hosts. >How can I configure the linux machine to receive mail addressed to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?

The bind documentation should have more details. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
