If you're using dhclient/dhcp then it should automatically setup your
resolv.conf when the connection comes up.  Once that works, your mail
server should just be 'mail' - it's actually
mail.<city-prefix>.<state-prefix>.home.com, but since the first line
in your /etc/resolv.conf should be "search <city-p>.<state-p>.home.com"
you can just use mail.  For news it's just news.<...>.  As far as your
inbound connections, I haven't any Idea - I have no problems going
in to my home system anytime.
