Chuck,
I tried sending mail from one PC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that didn't work
neither. I can do both forward and reverse nslookups between the two
PCs. (Actually between all my PCs.)
Having typed this far I thought "I'll follow his tip to the point" and
tried to send mail to gus@[10.0.0.1] and it worked!!!
Please, explain to me why. :-)
> ...and you have MTA's listening on all hosts...
Could you please be more specific. I'm a real mail illiterate. :-)
Regards
Gustav
