In order for an MTA in your GroupWise system to use dynamic Internet links to send messages, you must make sure the MTA's host (server or workstation) is properly configured for DNS lookups. Basic configuration information is provided below. Consult your DNS documentation for more detailed information about configuring a server or workstation for DNS lookups.
On a NetWare® server, you need to have a resolv.cfg file in the sys:\etc directory that defines the DNS name server for that NetWare server. The resolv.cfg file would look similar to the following, based on a novell.com domain:
domain novell.com
nameserver 123.456.78.99
Consult your DNS documentation for more detailed information about configuring a NetWare server for DNS lookups.
