I have a tiny network (3 machines) and therefore have chosen not to use a DNS as i really don't need it.
Having a local dns saves external network traffic and speeds up some things.
I thought everything was going well as i had defined all machines in /etc/hosts and i could ping them using hostname.mydomain . I started fiddling around with my postfix config and found a problem delivering local mail. I soon found out that "hosts kananga.mydomain" fails.
Mail delivery requires a working DNS; the query: host -t MX kananga.mydomain must work. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
