Re: [cobalt-developers] SMTP Email

Gerald,

I have had a request to direct all the emails from a virtual site to the
specific IP address of an Exchange server which will then distribute the
emails to the machines on the network.

The MX record has to be a valid host name and not an IP.

Any other ideas?

Cheers

Alec

I think if they already have this exchange server working, it probably has another url pointing somewhere useful. Maybe they just don't want to tell you. If they do, all you would have to do is point the mx record at that url.
ie. company has your website with abccompany.com and they also have abcco.com pointing at another server. If this is the case, then just point the mx record for abccompany.com at the abcco.com. I have seen this before.
