you can just use mail for both, but you must have the actual domain name that this
machine is in. for example:
cgws1.ab.wave.home.com
this must be specified in /etc/resolv.conf:
search cgws1.ab.wave.home.com
nameserver 24.64.2.33
nameserver 24.65.2.34
this should be configured using linux-config in Name server specification. if you are
using dhcp to configure your connection, this
will get filled in automatically, provided that you use the correct host name for you
machine, eg:
CS938382-A.cgws1.ab.wave.home.com
and leave the "primary name + domain", aliases, IP address, and netmask fields blank
in the adaptor specification in "basic host
information".
