Just for the sake of conforming to common expectancies, and *no* other reason, it'd be unusual to use "www." as the suffix for a mail server domainname. Using something like "mail." or "smtp." would be more commonplace. Using separate sub-domains has advantages for future expansion. You might prefer the services offered by some other company for your mail, or have to use another machine with the same hosting company. You can change the IPs for the mail server independently of the web server, and not even have to change the configurations of other things. Once you start running your own mail services, you really ought to have a MX record with your domain name (that points to your SMTP mail server address). At the moment, you don't have one. The MX record is the proper way that other servers work out how to send your mail to you. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
