Re: [cobalt-developers] Sendmail on a RAQ3

[Ed Wrenbeck <edwrenbeck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff, et all

1. I apologize if this posting was in error. I am not
subscribed the the users group, so maybe I made an
invalid assumption that it would be more for people
who are administering their web sites over the web, or
other higher level activities. Is there a server admin
list or does the users list serve that purpose? 

2. Why do you people bother posting replies if you are
going to have such attitudes? I'm pretty new to the
cobalt world, but most other lists I have participated
in have had much more of a "team" feel. A polite
re-direction to the correct list would have been all
that is required.

3. If you had read my previous posts, I did identify
that I have a static ip address coming into the dsl
line, and I am using two static dsn servers provided
by my domain registration company register.com. I have
a router connected to the dsl line performing network
address translation to my static internal ip address
for the raq. I have two A records at register for the
sites, one pointing to thedomain.com and one pointing
to www.thedomain.com. I do not have any CNAME records,
which was a problem getting mail working when I first
got the server. I also pointed out that the mail
routing was working fine until just recently when I
suffered a dual loss of power and dsl service. I'm
assuming that some sort of config. on the raq has been
subsequently altered.

4. Don't assume that I am an idiot just because I am
not a Linux guru. I have worked for Apple computer,
IBM and Lotus. If you want to compare resumes, I am
sure that mine would stack up pretty well against
yours. My world has centered around application
development on win32 systems, at least since leaving
apple circa 1992. I do have a day job, but I have a
768k sdsl line running to my house to host web sites
for small businesses, most of whom are people that I
know and provide a service for. I don't really even
make any money doing it, although I hope to sign a few
more business' and turn that corner soon. I had an
opportunity to aquire the raq3 quite cheaply, and it
had a couple of advantages over my existing server.
One, my other machine is a 1.2Ghz Athalon which
consumes power like there is no tomorrow. Two, I
wanted to increase my skillset in the *nix world.
Three, most of my "customers" are capable of doing
HTML page development, but have no skills in the more
specialized Domino development world, which made it
that much more difficult to push site development and
maintenance duties onto them.

Thanks again to everyone for their help so far, Ed.
