Answer to your first question: Send mail to user@[ip address] (you need square brackets). Pavel. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Dale [mailto:redhat@maxxess.co.za] Sent: Mon, January 06, 2003 9:42 AM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Sendmail on RH8 Hi All: Question #1 I am in the process of transferring mail server functionality to my new RH 8 machine , and everything seems to be working just fine. However , I need to find a way to 'test' the new mail server , without changing the MX record's IP address on our ISP's DNS servers. Is there a command I can use in Linux to send a mail message from one Linux server to a specific account on another Linux server , referenced by IP address rather than by DNS lookup ? bear in mind that both of these Linux servers are on the same LAN Question #2 Sendmail queues all of it's incoming mail for an account into one large account file in /var/spool/mail. Is there a way I can break these large files down into smaller message sized chunks so that they can be delivered to their recipients' computers individually ? ( naturally , the user must be logged on and must be requesting mail from the server ) Regards , Jason -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
