Thanks Dan. I setup the A records and seem to be able to send receive mail.
The problem that is occuring now is that the pop mail forwarding feature
does not work (it won't send to the recipient address) and also it won't
allow other mail addresses to be aliased to the pop.
What does this mean?
I promise I've been reading through the resources on the cobalt site as well
as reading the manual but there does not appear to be a lot of
troubleshooting documentation yet as the RaQ3 is fairly new. I'm not really
sure how much of the older RaQ documentation applies to the new box.
Thanks,
Robert Hughes
