This document explains the (.A) (S)ystem (I)nternet command. Lobby> .Aide System Configuration Internet ### Host or domain Record type --- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------- 1 (A)dd (D)elete (S)ave (Q)uit -> This is a 'clean' set up. Pixel uses the mx method because we have local users who get e-mail on the system. Basically to get all set up for mail you simply have to type dd: (A)dd (D)elete (S)ave (Q)uit -> Add Enter host name: pixel.citadel.org (1) localhost (Alias for this computer) (2) gateway domain (Domain for all Citadel systems) (3) smart-host (Forward all outbound mail to this host) Which one [1]: Basically what you're doing here is telling Citadel what any aliases for your machine are. If your machine were pixel.somedomain.com and you also had a DNS entry set up byFreakdog (freakdog @dogpound2), you might want to put in pixel.citadel.org as your alias, so that e-mail sent to that address won't bounce. Gateway Domain: citadel.org (that's the current domain for Citadel/UX systems) smart-host: A host to which you send all e-mail to be forwarded to the Internet. In most cases you won't need this, however I speak from experience when I say that if you don't have a static IP and domain name (the citadel.org addresses are dynamically assigned) a lot of MTA filters will block mail from your address. So unless you have a static domain, you'll probably want to send mail through a smart host. Usually your ISP will provide you with that information. All you have to do is save and you're done.
