Thanks Marshall, but I did tried that as I have mentioned in step 1 where I got the error mail -s "testing" minh.nguyen@xxxxxxx < /etc/hosts 3:06:05> minh.nguyen@xxxxxxxxxx User unknown /root/dead.letter... Saved message in /root/dead.letter If you know for sure it will work, then there might be something else setup with my system that is causing this? Perhaps the MASQUERADE feature mentioned by Hasan in another email is a better solution? I will look into both. Thanks!

Saved message in /root/dead.letter I did it using the following command: mail -s "testing" minh.nguyen@xxxxxxx < /etc/hosts 2) When I changed the "Dj$w.Foo.COM" to "Dj$domain.com" the email goes through, but it showed up with a letter missing in the domain name: "root@xxxxxx" instead of "root@xxxxxxx" Any ideas?

That should do it.
