I am not sure if anyone has the time to help me but if you do I would appreciate it.  I am trying (with no luck) to set up a Linux test server with DNS and Sendmail so far.
I have no idea what is going wrong but it will not forward the e-mails.  I have both the O'Reilly Sendmail and Bind books but am lost as to where to look for the solution.  
I am wondering if the problem is because this is an internal network or what.

Here is my Bind:
TTL 86400
@   IN      SOA     alr.srttest.com. elsiels.srttest.com. (
                        1999072902      ; Serial
                        21600   ; Refresh after 3 hours
                        3600    ; Retry after 1 hour
                        604800 ); Expire after 1 week

;
; Name Servers

    IN      NS      alr.srttest.com.

; Addresses for the canonical names

alr      IN      A       133.147.3.101
mail    IN      A       133.147.3.102
;
; Mail exchanges

    IN      MX      1 mail
;

I have no idea where to go from here.  Is this caused by the internal only network????  Or have I missed something???

Thank you
