This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
First of all, is your machine connected to the internet, or just within you private LAN (with private IP numbers).
If it is on the internet, consult your ISP (or whomever) is hosting your domain to add an MX entry to point to internet.cku.com.
If your Linux box is the only machine in the network (private), you somehow must have a DNS server somewhere, and I assume that you have bind running in the same machine and you PC is pointing to that machine (internet.cku.com - whatever the IP number is), as the DNS server. Then, in the DNS database (normally /var/named/named.hosts), and an entry
cku.com. IN MX 10 internet.cku.com.
and you should configure you sendmail.cf to have a line
Cwlocalhost internet.cku.com cku.com
I hope this help. Or maybe you might want to take a look at http://www.isc.org/bind and http://www.sendmail.org for reference.
