The POP3 deamon is the problem, not sendmail. You can't use sendmail to retreive mail. Without entries from the logfiles these kind of questions are useless..

Simply : No The only way that a webserver is able to know which domain it needs to server is with a HTTP 1.1 header. (I'm not in the mood to explain the HTTP 1.1 header :-))) ipchains has no knowledge of the HTTP protocol, so can't redirect on domain. No real solutions to this, execpt using multiple outside IP's.

Re: samba routing ??

The only way I could make it work was by using an NT WINS server. As far as I can remember (correct me if I'm wrong) it works this way : The NetBIOS packets are broadcast packets. smbmount demonstrates this very well... Routers block broadcast traffic, because if has no real use outside it's own subnet. So basically, you can't browse outside your own subnet. You can connect it you use IP's. Then main reason for things being this way is that NetBIOS was originally designed for IPS/SPX. The 'workaround' for this is a WINS server.

Sendmail problems.
Hi, Update on the last one : I now get mail that is posted to the exact hostname : [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want sendmail also to accept mail that goed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone know how to set this up ??? The /etc/hosts file contains all the hostname under which this host is known, but sendmail will only accept mail specified to the full servername. How do I change that behaviour ??? Thanks, Igmar PS Host names are changed, but the situation is the same -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Why are recompiled distrib so BIG ???
Hi, I was wondering if somebody has an answer on this: When I recompile some binaries ( I tried BASH), and the compiled binaries always have one thing in comment : They are a LOT bigger then the distribution binaries. For example : bash from RedHat : about 300 K bash compiled : about 1 MB !!! Can anyone explain this difference ???
