Can DNS & POP3 on the same server?

[Paul Jacobs]

I am running bind 8.2.2 P5, and send mail 8.10.1... and I can not send to 
the same domain..

It tell's me "can not send to it self."

You must turn "open relay" on for it to work, then restrict to certain I.P. 
ranges...

Another thing about send mail is it can not do POP3 auth to allow posting 
through SMTP.
