exim configuration



well, here is what i discovered wrt questions shyamal had asked.

i am yet to understand the term smtp smart host.

the way i look at it is, i am connected to the net. i have dns servers resolving hostnames for me. do i still need something else *on some other machine* to send mails?

anyway, here are answers:

so far as smarthost is concerned, i do not know yet! but frankly, i think a machine with the net access and dns access should be in a position to send e-mails independent of other machines (read - smarthost). of course, correct me if i am wrong

yes. i can do dns lookup from my machine. dig throws back some numbers - but doesnt report an error. dig -t A returned some nice looking data. so dns lookup seems not to be a problem. by the way, do not all machines who have a dns server entry have dns lookup ability?

so, some solution on this?

thanx again
