Title: Can E-smith support my domain name?
Post by: Matt Andreko on December 26, 2000, 10:47:15 PM

I currently have a linux machine as my server/router

I have had to work pretty hard to get it up.  I have a domain name pointing to it, but have never been able to get my email working.  I'd like to have email addresses @mandreko.com (my domain)

Does e-smith come with an easy way to set this up?  can it make my email addresses if i tell it what i want? i basically just want a webmaster@mandreko.com mandreko@mandreko.com and a few others...

I've tried setting up sendmail, qmail, and a few other mail servers... they don't install correctly, then i can't even get the pop3 working either...

would using e-smith be a good way to do this?

Your e-smith already has all the e-mail software that it need to be your mail server.  But the internet has to know about that your machine is a mail server. So whoever is pointing your domain name at your server needs to setup an mx record to point there also.
