| Setting up Sendmail as an MX |
[ October 11, 2008] |
Hello,
I would like to setup one of my machines as an MX for my domains. It seems everywhere I look I find how to use someone else's MX record but how do I set up Sendmail to be an MX for my domains.
For example, the domain:
my-domain.com IN MX 5 mail.my-domain.com.
my-domain.com IN MX 10 backup-mail.my-domain.com.
Does anyone have an idea where to start to set up backup-mail so that it will pass the emails to mail when "mail" is available?
The solution seems so simple:
mail.my-domain.com ~# cat local-host-names
mail.my-domain.com
my-domain.com
backup-mail.my-domain.com ~# cat local-host-names
backup-mail.my-domain.com
Thanks to everyone who responded.

| business FIOS and residential FIOS TV |

I know the subject seems OT; however, I can assure everyone that it is not. I have been planning to migrate over from Comcast's business net access in November to business FIOS, since it just recently arrived. My current network plan involves having Verizon provision the data link out of the RJ45 connector on the ONT, so that I can plug my linux box into it and have it do all the routing and such. From what I have read on these sorts of configurations though, assuming that one goes with the static IP plan (which I currently plan to), it is currently not possible to bridge the Verizon-provided Actiontech router to my Linux box for WAN connectivity, so that the existing set-top boxes don't lose the ability to pull TV guide data and whatnot. The only possible reason I can think of as to why this would be impossible, is because the business and residential networks are completely seperate from each other, with no way to route between them (this assumes that the first hop on the way out to the net on residential FIOS is some internal network where TV guide data is pulled from). Assuming that this is the case still (if it was even the case at all), how hard is it usually to persuade Verizon to install a second ONT, and how much would an undertaking like this cost? I am still googling this subject; however, things appear to not be promising right now. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if anyone here could help me out with a small question and I'd be incredibly grateful for any answers or suggestions.
I'm looking to buy my boyriend a nice webcam for Christmas since his broke recently but have no idea which are most compatible with linux (and, more specifically, skype and linux).
I'm sorry that I'm a bit clueless in this matter and I expect there might be other details besides 'he uses linux' which I'd need to provide.. please tell me so if this is the case.
Many thanks. :)
