sending mail on lan...

[Jerry LeVan]

Grrr,

I can send mail all over the internet but I can't send
mail to the machines on the local lan :(

( well I can do it with telnet...)

I have machines say mbp and server and postfix running
on both the machines.

If I am on mbp and want to send mail to jerry at server
how should I config Postfix and /etc/hosts to deal with "lan" mail,
and conversely...

My machines don't belong to a "real" domain just about everything
I have tried seems to die in the address lookup for the server
I am sending from.

Any hints appreciated :)

PS: I got a mac mini monday and so far have moved Subversion,  
Postgresql,
and Moin to the "server". The mini is very quiet and certainly
fast enough for a simple server.

I think Apple ought to pitch the rascal as an easy to use
home/small office server.

I use SuperDuper for nightly backups.
