Re: sticky bit q-mail and DHCP
Just wondering, but if you are hosting your own domain shouldn't you have a static ip address? or is there a way to inform dns about your ip address should it change?

I was thinking other packages such as sendmail or qmail would use this thinking my domain is tellus.ab.ca. I couldn't find any info on that.

Re: sticky bit q-mail and DHCP
I don't have a real static IP, It changes every few weeks. I use www.zoneedit.com as my primary and secondary nameserver. You can manually change your IP online. It's pretty easy and a good way to practice you administration skills. I found this site really easy and it's free. - Original Message - From: Randall Creighton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Grant Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 12:39 AM Subject: Re: sticky bit q-mail and DHCP Just wondering, but if you are hosting your own domain shouldn't you have a static ip address? or is there a way to inform dns about your ip address should it change?

sticky bit q-mail and DHCP
1. I am using my home computer that uses a DHCP. In /etc/rc.conf my hostname is automatically entered. I realize this is the name of my computer given to mefrom my ISP. I purchased my domain kooper.ca. Should I change the hostname in /etc/rc.conf to hostname="dell.kooper.ca". If not, what would the origional host namebe used for? I'm sure I should change it. I am attempting to install qmail again. 2. chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d What does it mean by sticky bit "+ t"
