Mail!

Yea! I have mail! I have for the first time been receiving mail from Charlie Root.

When I first set-up the computer, I was getting mail, but it was always with the address return error for no known address. So, I played around with some of the configuration files and lost mail output all together for some time. So, I finally added an MX record for the machine at dyndns.org and listed several of their nameservers in the new /etc/resolv.conf file. Still nothing. I had inserted search xochitlfilms.org at the beginning of the same file, based upon recommendations in the AbsoluteOpenBSD book. So, after some helpful hints on the newbies list, I realized that maybe I needed to remove this first line from the file, put the airport router down as a nameserver and list a universal nameserver, one that wasn't just for dyndns.org. Well, this worked! If I could just get the mod_perl to work correctly I'd be happy.
