Alright Roger I set my linux box up with the hostname b-dub.org made the appropriate change to the postfix config file. And successfully mailed to myself @b-dub.org when I sent a message to cosmo.b-dub.org I got a message back from postfix saying that the address loops back to myself. Thanks for the help. I would like to extend this to all the kind folks that offered their time in helping me out with this today. If you like live music take a look at: http://db.etree.org/dupreesdiamond If you see something you like let me know and I will push it out to my ftp server for you to download. (please reply offlist) (I can push ~100KB/sec) Thanks again, JP > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Roger Beever > Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 3:56 PM > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: Dumb Newbie > > On Sun, 2004-02-08 at 20:46, Jwp wrote: > > The registered domain is b-dub.org > > > > Umm I was under the impression that each box on my LAN needs a unique > name > > ie the Linux box is cosmo and the XP box is Marco.
