Dear Linux-dev,
I am running TurboLinux 6.0 on a server for a non-profit event at MIT. Right
now, the machine serves nicely as an Apache webserver for the event
(www.sloanchallenge.org). Our DNS service is handled by enom.com and
redirects
the two domains sloanchallenge.org and sloanchallenge.com to
sloanchallenge.mit.edu.
This works fine, except I would like any e-mail address at those domains to
redirect to <name>@mit.edu.
I can give the DNS provider an IP for an MX entry which would seem to make my
machine, sloanchallenge.mit.edu responsible for handling any e-mail sent to
those .org and .com domains. I can't seem to get this to work (mit's machines
complain about not relaying, and I'm sure I've not configured sendmail
entirely
correctly), and furthermore mail that was correctly forwarding before by
simple
.forward mechanisms has now stopped working because spleen.mit.edu won't
accept
e-mail from my machine.
Two questions:
1. How should I set-up the MX entry at the DNS host?
2. How do I make things work as described in the Athena-Linux documents as
far
as foo@sloanchallenge.mit.edu automagically going to foo@mit.edu, and ideally
foo@sloanchallenge.org going to foo@mit.edu?
I hope you can help.
Thank you in advance.
-Justin.
