Hi,
I am trying to setup my OSF/1 systems in a way that Domain-Based Addresses
can be used for our mail. I already run the /usr/sbin/mailsetup and
configure it to do that. The name of the host I'm using to do this is
AXP16.IIE.ORG.MX running OSF/1 V3.0. This host is our domain name server.
After I run the /usr/sbin/mailsetup and define that I want to use domain-based
address I can send mail using this kind of addresses in AXP16.IIE.ORG.MX,
but if I try to send mail from another host in another domain using only our
domain name I get

421 Host iie.org.mx not found for mailer ether.
550 ricardo_at_iie.org.mx... Host unknown
Is there something else I have to do in order to allow Internet users to
send mail to us using only our domain name ?
I thank you all in advance for your help.

P.D.
I read in the documentation (NETWORK CONFIGURATION MANUAL) that something has
to be done with the MX record:
"To use domain-based addresses, you need to set up one
or more machines in your mail system as a mail hub
and use BIND MX records to point to these machines."
