You should set up your machines to use, say, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2,
etc, as 192.168.0.0/16 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0, aka everything in
192.168.*) is reserved for such internal networking uses. The IPs you
mentioned are reserved for BBN, a major provider (unless you're a BBN
customer and they gave you those IPs). You'll confuse some routers
otherwise if BBN puts a customer or some machines on those IPs...

Internet site with smarthost, and you'll be acting as a smarthost for
192.168.0.0/24 if you use netmask 255.255.255.0 (which would give you
192.168.0.*, or 255 IPs for your network). If you recieve your email at
your ISP, you'll also want to get fetchmail and set that up for
systemwide use. Otherwise, the part about what hostnames it should
accept email for should be self explanatory.
