my proxy server gives me a local email address (in my case,
cmatheson@bowwow),
i'm supposed to use that instead of the real thing (which is set up on
my proxy
server). I use 'cmatheson@bowwow' for my email address, and 'bowwow' as my
SMTP and POP servers.

I changed that to 'bowwow', is that what I want?

they do have an error, here it is (a small portion):

it says lookup for bowwow did not complete. I can ping bowwow, so I
thought that was strange.
here's my resolv.conf and hosts files (if that matters):
#resolv.conf
search nofx.gnu
nameserver 192.168.1.3 #bowwow's IP address
#/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 server.nofx.gnu server #linux server
that has busted hard-drive
192.168.1.2 tux.nofx.gnu tux # me
192.168.1.3 bowwow.nofx.gnu bowwow # proxy server
192.168.1.4 slowpoke.nofx.gnu slowpoke # old Windoze computer
192.168.1.5 elhefe.nofx.gnu elhefe #my friend's
computer
Thanks for the help,
Cameron Matheson
