At the end of the 4th paragraph, the line that reads "...and it finds |
itself as the most preferred mail exchanger..." should qualify that by adding
"for the domain" and reiterate that this preference is specified by the holder
of the domain in the email's "to" field, not by the holder of the mail
exchanger's domain.

The first sentence of the second paragraph now reads: |
"What happens if a mailer finds itself at the highest preference..."
Should read:
"What happens if a mailer not configured to process a piece of mail
finds itself at the highest preference..."

The last paragraph states that "Many versions of sendmail use class w |
or fileclass w as the list of 'local' destinations." This won't make sense to
people unfamiliar with sendmail--is it possible to add a reference for further
information on sendmail, preferably on the Web, to this paragraph?

(at the end of the "DNS NOTIFY (Zone Change Notification)" section |
of Chapter 10), an example appears that reads:
zone "acmebw.com" {
type master;
file "db.acmebw.com";
notify yes;
also-notify 15.255.152.4;
};
The above syntax for the "also-notify" clause is incorrect, at least under
BIND 8. The syntax should be:
zone "acmebw.com" {
type master;
file "db.acmebw.com";
notify yes;
also-notify { 15.255.152.4 };
};
(Note the use of the {} characters around the IP number used in the
also-notify substatement.)
The authors should, of course, check this for themselves. But I spent quite
a bit of time recently trying to get the also-notify clause to work with my
BIND 8 server until I thought to try the {} syntax. Which makes sense since
nearly every other BIND element that can accept a parameter list does so by
using {}'s.
