If people are going to send you email you must have a domain name that resolves to your IP address. You either pay to register a domain name, or you could use a dynamic DNS service from someone like dyndns.org who will give you one for free. Once you have a domain name Postfix needs to know what it is. Then any mail Postfix revceives addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for example) gets passed to eric's local mailbox. derek BTW: Here is Mandrake's manual page for the mail server wizard http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/MandrakeLinux/90c/en/Server_Conf_Guide.html/wiz-mail.html -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
