It's just a matter of setting up the MX records. When DNS was put together it was also made to help systems with no permanent connection receive mail. With an MX pointer to another host you can have the host receive mail for you, as long as it accepts it as local. You'll need _something like_ (ages since i've fussed with dns) www MX 10 10.10.10.10 www IN A 22.22.22.22 And 10.10.10.10's sendmail.cf has to be set up accordingly. However, you specified something not exactly like that: [EMAIL PROTECTED] means mail to the domain abc.com.au, not to www.abc.com.au, which is a host _on_ that domain. For that, you'll also need an MX for abc.com.br., and 22.22.22.22's sendmail.cf needs to be set up consider that mail domain as local as well. Confused? DNS & Bind, O'Reilly and Associates is a good reference. -- christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
