Search Again: Re: QuickDNS 4.5.1.1 patch or change mail servers From: James Cobb Date: Friday, October 3, 2003 Time: 7:24:16 am A bit of advise- if you are not a unix hound believe me, this installation is not worth the trouble for the results gained (from somebody who learned the hard way). Don't panic, relax, breath deeply, and wait for the M&M installer. If you are not a Unix hound but *are* a masochist and decide to go ahead with this, don't forget to install the developers toolkit on all your OSX dns servers or the instructions below won't work.
