FSD, sorry about the apache reset problem. Can't take care of too many things at the same time.

I must say again I am idot about any mail server. my site is pointed by zoneedit.com which I have mentioned in the beginning of the class to my teacher.

In the class he has a dns server to do the internal pointing, what could I do, I have zoneedit.com, is it suppose the internal dns and external dns server ( for example zoneedit.com ) same the function.

I shown you the resolv.conf not the hosts file.


What can I do beside reading the qmail doc?

There is 7 pages and I bombed the first page already.

What problems? What was your question?

the first is the named.conf in /etc while the second is named.local in /var/named.

I tailored mime according the tailor and /use/sbin/named in web server so it can in return point to mail server which is pointed by zoneedit.com

I do not whether the DNS service - by my web server is necessary.

I do not what harm will bring about???????!!!!!!! correct me FBSD!

>> the first is the named.conf in /etc

Check the manpage of your BIND named(8) for the default location of named.conf file.

>> while the second is named.local in /var/named

Because you set this:

options{
directory "/var/named";
};

Sorry, I tried to understand your questions but I really can't. If zoneedit.com is currently hosting your DNS, you DON'T need to run DNS server yourself, so long as your domain is reachable by the world.

Once again, I have decided not to reply on anything you posted that use example data. If you need DNS + Mail help from me, use real data.

I call you.
