RE: [cobalt-users] Qube2 DNS and Mail settings

["Bob Kirk" <rfkirk@xxxxxxxx>]

Ok I have 1/2 the problem solved.  My ISP "forgot" to create an MX record on
the zone host table.  That now allows me to receive mail, but still unable
to send mail.  I keep getting a 550 Relaying denied error.


Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance.
Bob Kirk
