    Sir,
    I am trying to configure email delivery on my intranet
    LAN. I am running Redhat 9.0. I have about 6
    computers, hostnames are host11 upto host16.
    When I send a mail from userA@host11 to userB@host16.
    It does not get delivered. It keeps sitting in the
    /var/spool/mqueue. The question is what additional
    configuration is needed to deliver this mail?

    Presently, I am not connected to Internet. So, I have
    not installed DNS. I am using /etc/hosts. All
    computers are pinging each other. I have installed
    sendmail on each. I checked up with
                 # telnet localhost smtp
    They all respond and show me that the mail daemon is
    running. When I send mail to a user on the same host,
    it gets delivered. For example, an mail from
    userC@host11 addressed to userA@host11 is working
    fine. But when I try to send the mail to a user to the
    other host, it does not get delivered.

    Quest1: How to configure the system, that the mail is
    delivered to users on the other hosts on my Intranet?

    Quest2: My domain (mydomain.com.pk) is registered. The
    DNS servers for my domain are the DNS servers of the
    ISP. When my Intranet is connected to Intranet, I plan
    to install a DNS on one of my machines and a mail
    server with an MX entry in the DNS tables. Two of my
    users are very fond of Windows. So, I shall tell them
    to use their outlook express, and in the SMTP server
    and POP server fields in outlook express, enter the IP
    address of my mail server. Is this planning OK for
    using email on the Internet, for all my users?

    Thanks.
