Topic: What are the steps to configure 2 mail domains on different hosts

Hi there,

I have 2 hosts on a network ( two separate web servers, for example 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.2.10 )
each of these hosts has it's own domain (for example mail.host1.com , mail.host2.com)
What is the steps in order to make both hosts users able to send email to each other ? I mean John@mail.host1.com wants to send an email to Sarah@mail.host2.com .

Should I really setup a DNS server in each host ? I don't know where should I start from and what to search for !
Thanks

Hello.

You should install DNS server inside your network (i guess it's LAN as per your ip format) or hardcode ip and dns names in the /etc/hosts on the both servers to make them know about each other without dns.

Kindest Regards
