Re: OT [newbie] Microsoft and George W. Bush
You're right (technically)... The main difference, though, is that there are a million different configurations of intel machines, and only a handful of apple boxes... Remember mac clones? They didn't last too long, exactly for that reason... even now, I can't get my stupid CD-R running on my Umax s900... while it works fine on my ancient mac 7200 -- jon On Wed, 27 Sep 2000, Robin Regennitter wrote: On Wed, 27 Sep 2000, you wrote: the only reason why Mac is different than Intel is the fact they run completely different processors.

Re: [newbie] HELP ME! DNS/Bind problems... especially with email.
Do you think it was just an issue of lack of patience?
I was testing it last night using email sent from yahoo.com, and stuff was
bouncing. Now, six hours of sleep later, all seems to be functioning
normally.
Am I just deluding myself?
What's a good way to make sure everything is configured correctly, anyway?
Everything loads fine, according to /var/log/messages and seems to be
spitting out what I'd expect from both nslookup and dig.
... but how can I be sure?
For what it's worth, I've conquered postfix aliasing problems several times,
so I know how to fix that now... and what it looks like when that's the
problem.

Um...lets see. If I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like all
you've got to do is to setup an alias for yourself with postfix that
will re-route mail coming in for the other address to the address that
you're currently able to receive for. You can do that easily using
Webmin in your Netscape browser and accessing the server -- postfix
menu.
