The machines name is 'router.forgirlfriend.tzo.com' I can send mail to grover@router.fortgirlfriend.tzo.com. I'd also like to be able to send email to grover@mail.fortgirlfriend.tzo.com and grover@fortgirlfriend.tzo.com and have it all end up in the same place. How do I accomplish this?
Easy. It's a matter of DNS. I advice you to read "DNS Howto" (www.linuxdoc.org). In particular, the email problem is resolved adding MX records to your (or isp's) DNS (rtfm ;-)). Another problem is telling sendmail to accept mail sent to all these domains. By default, sendmail will accept mail sent to your machine's "realname" (router. fortgirlfriend.tzo.com). If you want the same behaviour for the other names (mail.fortgirlfriend.tzo.com could be an "alias" or CNAME record in your DNS pointing to router.forgirlfriend.tzo.com) you have to tell it to sendmail (it's the 1st question when using yast/administration/sendmail, I don't remember now how SuSE names it).
