Once I added Reliatek.com to my host entries, I can now send mail to Justin@reliatek.com. But I am going to setup mail.reliatek.com. Work with TCP/IP Host Table Entries System: RTEK Type options, press Enter. 1=Add 2=Change 4=Remove 5=Display 7=Rename Internet Host Opt Address Name 127.0.0.1 LOOPBACK LOCALHOST 192.168.0.6 reliatek.com <------------added this www.reliatek.com -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Silberberg Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 12:52 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: E-mail Problems Justin, Al this magic is in the Domain Name Server(s) setup for your site !!! A URL is a host name as well as a test string for the HTML Server to parse. What you need to know is how the MX & A records are setup for the domain, what order they are in, and how they resolve. Remember that a host name is nothing more than a symbolic representation for the IP Address of your system. Then once the packet is on the system different processes monitor the different services / ports and take over to resolve things. So if www.reliatek.com resolves to 172.16.200.10 and it's a HTML URL than port 80 or 443 might grab it, if it's mail then port 25 might grab it, if it's telnet then port 22 ect... Now where the magic comes in is when you want all the mail for reliatek.com regardless of the hosts supported to be routed to a single system. To do this in the DNS you provide an MX for the mail server at the zone level and then your individual servers below it. For even more magic, if you have an internal private network, you need both a public DNS and a Private DNS, and again the zone records need to be setup for the DNS to route all the domain mail to the correct server.. This is not beginners stuff, have fun !!
