Re: Can you use a numbered IP for testing?

Tom -

You should be able to... Atleast to test the local machine.  Your 
machine should have a hostname thouhg.  A proper mail server should 
have a domain name, like mail.yourdomain.com, and not be refered to 
by IP. A really good place to test this out is
