Or at least I think they can't Toomas, phaza7 is not a user on in the smtp but tweaxor is root never recieved any mail. I think its a DNS problem cause I haven't configured a MX record in BIND 8.3.2 or a A record either. guess that would help but having trouble following the handbook on how to setup a master name server for my lan will that help In RFC 2181 it's says that MX should never point to CNAME why?? How can I tell in the master name server is running properly thanks for your time and consideration ;-)
