- You can either run sendmail in daemon mode (assuming that you
- compiled it with TCP/IP support), or invoke it by inetd whenever
- there is a request on a proper port.....

- It depends on how you set up your routers file, smart host and
- smart transport; Also, you wil be better of reconfiguring smail to
- use BIND functionality. Take a look at ~/samples/genereic/routers.
-
- I run nameserver locally, so for me BIND routines are working like
- a charm...

-
-
- Yes and no. No - you do not need to run a specific daemon locally
- to advertise yourself unless you are your primary nameserver.
-
- Yes, cause your primary nameserver have to do it for you.
-
-
- Once your nameservers will advertise your presence on the net
- (And I hope you asked them to modify data for your domain from MX
- record to A record...), other machines will try to reach you
- directly; until nameservers will advertise it, no one will pay
- attention to your presence :-).
-
-
-
- I just run a nslookup for you, Larry - and according to it, you
- are not connected;
