Is should work fine... the reverse pointing to AT&T should bother mail... just make sure you publish a proper MX record for your domain. As far as setup goes, normal bind (I recommend version 9.x), MTA (your choice of sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim, etc.) and a pop server (qpopper, cyrus, courier, etc.) Add iptables for some bit of protection or a hardware firewall (like a netgear firewall router or D-link or linksys.) As far as documentation goes, each piece has a plethera of information available... use google to do some searches and I'm sure you be overloaded. - herman Ahbaid Gaffoor wrote:
Hello all, (I'm reposting this, I really need your thoughts and suggestions please)
I have an AT&T Cable Modem and have regsitered a domain name against the IP address I use.
Within my network of three machines I have DNS set up with forwarding. This way I can use my local network machine names and still resolve beyond my network. This all works.
If my domain is abc123.com I would like to be able to do the following:
1) Setup a POP server on one of my SuSE boxes.
2) Be able to setup email so that I can send and receive emails to and from ahbaidg@abc123.com both inside and outside my network.
3) Be able to setup <person>@abc123.com as needed
An nslookup against abc123.com gives my AT&T assigned IP, however a reverse lookup on the IP gives the AT&T name against the IP.
My questions are:
a) What would be the best way to set this up? b) What should I use to accomplish this? c) Is this documented somewhere out there?
Many many thanks.
Ahbaid.
