Hold on! on ethic's /etc/host's file I had the *wrong* IP. "deb"
is my to-be new Linux server with 10.47.0.115 as its internal IP.
Now I can ping and dig and nslookup the computer *correctly*. This
is outstanding.
The next thing is to get mail on "deb"; how do I do that? A few
years ago a friend installed dovecot on ethic.thought.org. Is there
an easy way of plugging in docot into "deb.thought.org"?
thanks in advance.
