sendmail, MX records & Majordomo
I hope that this is the correct place to e-mail this question - if not, I would appreciate being re-directed. I've set up SuSe 8.0 on a computer running through a router and a cable modem. I have a static IP, and I have a domain name pointing to the IP via a Registrar that also handles a POP3 account. I've set up Majordomo on my computer and would like to configure sendmail as a mail server so that it will handle mailing lists aliases for Majordomo. Also, I would need to run a POP server to allow me to receive mail from my server instead of the Registar. In order for the aliases for majordomo to work, do I have cancel my mail coming from the POP3 account via the Registrar? Is imap something that I should look into vs sendmail? Please let me know of any documentation on this or if you have specific advice on what I would need to do. Thanks, Yvette _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

IN MX 10 dial-up-server.your.domain. your.domain. IN MX 50 mail.provider.com. In this way mail will be held at the provider and forwarded to you as soon as you connect via modem. Then aliases will be expanded and mailed back out . A bit impractical. Better to have the mdom setup on a permanent connection.
Is imap something that I should look into vs sendmail? No, different ballgame.
