[cobalt-users] RE: Connection Refused - Email

[Reseller Sales <bartelle@xxxxxxx>]

Dan,

Thanks for responding to my cry for help.  The domain,
bpcinteractive.com is one of the domains that I host.  Also, it has it's
own virtual DNS nameserver.  The server name is ns.bearfruit.com and the
main domain, mine, is bearfruit.com.  Now, when you suggest checking the
MX records, is this something that can be done in the Control Panel or
is there a file someplace that I can view?  What else can I check?

Thanks again for your help,
Tal


Have you checked your MX records? I don't see one for your domain:

bpcinteractive.com      SOA
    origin = ns.bearfruit.com
    mail addr = root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    serial = 2000011020
    refresh = 10800 (3 hours)
    retry = 3600 (1 hour)
    expire = 604800 (7 days)
    minimum ttl = 86400 ()
bpcinteractive.com      NS      ns.bearfruit.com
bpcinteractive.com      NS      ns2.bpcinteractive.com
bpcinteractive.com      A       208.44.242.17
bpcinteractive.com      NS      ns.bearfruit.com
bpcinteractive.com      NS      ns2.bpcinteractive.com
ns.bearfruit.com        A       208.44.242.63
ns2.bpcinteractive.com  A       208.44.243.7
