Yep.  The "MX list points..." error means DNS indicates the
server is an MX, but sendmail doesn't know it.  The zones/FQHNs
listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names should match the entries
given in DNS.


CM> files directly rather than via the GUI on a Cobalt?

GUI?  What's a GUI? ;-)  (Depends who you ask...)

On all Cobalt units, one must be careful about editting files
manually.  Anyone who has had a RaQ overwrite named.conf or
httpd.conf changes knows what I mean.  Don't ask me how I know...
