#How many different MTAs where used in this process? Can you guess why so many transfers? Record your observations in your lab logbook.
#Use either the '''nslookup''', '''host''', or '''dig''' utilities to query those servers (type MX resource records) to see if you can obtain additional information regarding those mail servers.
=== Viewing Local Mail Message Headers (VM2)===
You have the ability when sending and receiving e-mails locally on your VM2 machine to also view e-mail header details when using the '''mail''' command.
#Make certain you are in your '''VM2''' machine.
#Send another e-mail from your VM2 account to yourself, but using your first name instead by issuing the following command:<br>'''mail -s "Lab4a - Local - Test3" <yourFirstName>'''
#Now, issue the '''mail''' command to see if you received that e-mail message.
#At the mail prompt, enter the command '''h''' (for detailed header) following by the number of that the "... Test3" email within the list. This sets the e-mail to display detailed header information with mail message.
#View that message by entering the mail message number in the list. Did it work?
#Using what you learned from INVESTIGATION 1, save the message to the file pathname: '''~/mail/msg3'''. Now you can use the vi editor to better view the header information.
#Note similar information regarding how the mail message was transmitted with your VM2 machine.
#Record your observations in your lab logbook.
