Hi Jim,

Thank you very much for this.

I would like to explain this abit.

I have 2 boxes
1   dhamma.metta.lk
2   mail.metta.lk
my email account for the domain is root at dhamma.metta.lk
which is forwarded to my personal account metta at metta.lk

bps.lk is a virtual domain hosted on the machine dhamma.metta.lk
I have not yet set up Apache to handle the virtual domain 
and the web-server takes one to www.metta.lk

No.

This I do not really understand. 
I think mail is forwarded to my account
but if that is not a correct setup 
then I would appreciate to be informed of the correct way.

I thought that this was the mail address of the admin for the domain.
Please advice me if I am wrong.

My file /var/named/bps.lk is given below

A saying of the Buddha from http://metta.lk/ 
-------------------------------------------- 
Those who are afraid when there should be no fear, and are not afraid when there should be fear, such men, due to their wrong views go to woeful states.
