[luau] dns question?

[Jaymes Schooler]

Yes.

for WinNT create a HOSTS file in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc

Make your entries like this:

44.44.45.1 'testserver'


Idea...

Add the network and host info into the /etc/mail/access file like this

10.0	      RELAY
192.168.	RELAY
192.1.1.72	RELAY

Why not add RELAY in your sendmail.mc file and add
FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -o /etc/mail/access')
and
FEATURE('relay_hosts_only')

ACCESS_LIST in your sendmail.mc then add the IP addresses or the subnet into
the access file in /etc/mail directory then do rebuild your /etc/sendmail.cf
file using:

M4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

After you do this all hosts on the 192.168.x.x and the 10.0.x.x network and
the host 192.1.1.72 can relay and receive mail from your sendmail.

That way you don't have to worry about MicroCrap's settings


Just make sure to read the Man Pages on sendmail

Subject: [luau] dns question?


Does windows have an equivalent of /etc/hosts?  I ask because I have a
mail server for my lan with a private ip.  My boxes use the internet and
public dns servers.  I am guessing that the only way that I can send
mail through the local mail server from a windows box to another lan
client and be able to use a domain (fantasy, not registered) name is to
set up a domain server on my lan that resolves my private ip address to
whatever fantasy domain I choose.  If you made it through that last
sentence, is this correct?  Is there a way to use fictional domains on a
private lan using public dns without setting up a private dns?  I know
that the domains can't be anything registered because the public dns's
will resolve them to sites unwanted.
