Message-ID: Date: 31 Jan 91 16:08:04 GMT Sender: news@yunexus.YorkU.CA Distribution: comp Organization: York Computing Services Lines: 22 Under 4.5.1 of Risc/Os... our mailer died. We now have incomming mail from the net, but cannot send mail out from the box. Does anyone know how I can force the use of dns? I put "host: dns files" in /etc/vis.conf, I even tried "host: dns", but still cannot send mail off the box. All mail returns with "host unknown". Any ideas would be appreciated.
