Re: Web server and email server in different places with same domain name

Thanks for all your replies! Yeah, who ever set this server up really
wanted to piss the next administrator off.  The current administrator
only knows one command: adduser.  I've got a lot of work ahead of me.

So I will take out the lines in the /etc/hosts file.  I didn't want to
mess with DNS, but now I see I'll have to.  I can add the lines to the
/var/named/tbc.to.  They use squirrelmail for webmail so I'll have to
tweak the address where it sits?  Right now it's at tbc.to/webmail.  Or
will the DNS you describe above do it (tbc.to          MX
mail.tbc.to)?  I'm sorry.... I'm still learning.
Also, they have a Windows2003 server in the mix.  I have no idea why
because it has the default group policy in place.  I'll have to ask
them why it's there.  I've used Windows2003 server a little so I'll
look into setting up that machine too.

To answer your question tbc.to using sendmail.

I'll also add a record into the /etc/resolv.conf to make tbc.to to
search.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Once I update the DNS record how to I get DNS to
use the new record?  Restarting the service won't do it....  thanks
again.

You need to change the serial number in the dns file to signal a change occurred.
It is in the SOA stanza, and has the form:
@ IN SOA dnsx.domain.com. goofy.domain.com. (
1212200501 ; serial
3600 ; refresh
7200 ; retry
604800 ; expire
36000 ; ttl
)
