Are both domains hosted on your Cobalt or is the domain2.com somewhere else?
If you set up www.domain2.com on your Cobalt per usual and then use CNAME to
alias something like mail.domain1.com to www.domain2.com that should get it
for you. If domain2.com is hosted elsewhere, just use the CNAME to point it
to the exact name of the mail server you want it routed to. I don't believe
Linux allows you to set up a server without a host name (but I am a Newbie),
so this shouldn't be an issue.......

Example:
We host the www part of ctnis.com but the mail is handled by another
company. We set a CNAME record up for that domain like this:
mail.ctnis.com --> hub.infoave.net.

Works peachy....
