    hello
    still a newbee too

    i would like to ask a few questions in setting up my mailserver

    environment is simple.....intel based solely running freebsd 4.7
    right now wnd sendmail 8.12.6 and qpopper 4.0.4

    all are running without error.....i think

    the host command is replying correctly
    my remote dns service a and mx records are fine
    ping to the name resolves correctly
    host-names file modified with names
    inetd running modules without error messages

    mailserver sees internet ok

    here is the problem i cant track down.....when i send mail to an
    account set up on mailserver (thru adduser) and using an remote
    source email server.....when i use a pc through windows 2000
    running outlook express i cannot retrieve the mail...it comes back
    with error message 550 host unknown....

    can anyone steer me in the right direction.....checked freebsd
    handbook....freebsd in 24 hours....and usual sites faq...

    thanks
    den
