or make sure that you have every hostname (in FQDN) in your
intranet on every host`s hosts file (unix : /etc/hosts win98
c:\window\hosts)

1. setting up Intranet mail serever (newbie Question)
This is a re-post. My earlier posting does not seem reached the group.
We are setting up a small linux network in my office. There are about
12 machines. Current setup is Win 98 /95 in peer to peer network.
TCP/IP is enabled and the Machines are numbered from 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.11 with a mask of 255.255.255.0. The machine 192.168.1.1 is
a Redhat 8.0 set up on experimental basis, since we are planning to
shift to LINUX. The RH installation is successsfull and is using as a
workstation without any problem. I can ping other machines. Now we
are trying to install an internal mail network. This is for
communicating between officers inside the office. Although I searched
the net and read the manuals I could not comprehend them in full.
Therefore can somebody tell me step by step what to do. I wish to
know:
1. Can I give any name to my domain? I propose to give "ksinc.net"?
What exactly the difference between "hosts " and domain"
2. the machine 192.168.1.1 is named as "cs" ( as host). The /etc/hosts
file has the following entries:
192.168.1.1 cs
192.168.1.2 murali
192.168.1.3 maheswari, the last two entries being the names of windows
machines with the IP no and name. (the balance machines are not added.
is the entries are correct ?
3. In the computer "cs" I added two users "raju" and "mnk", with
passwords.
4. with this info. how can I set up the internal e-mail system. what
5. Is it required to configure the "sendmail". or is it
pre-configured? The smtp is running.
6. for setting up an IMAP protocol e-mail what shall I do ? Is there
any other simple solutions ?
Regards,
Raju
