The
problem is that you have defined www as a cname in your DNS record. All records
for www.domain.com should be defined as
A records in DNS.
Hello
Cobalt List!
I set up a site on my cobalt raq server... and the site it
working just fine. Email, however, is not.
Mail sent to one the
users of the site bounces back with this message:
ronhiner@xxxxxxxxx; Action: Failed; Status: 5.5.0 (other or undefined
protocol status)
Remote MTA bimir.com: SMTP Diagnostic: 554 rewrite:
excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset 3
It looks to
me like two SMTP servers are stuck in a loop with each other -- and one of
them is smart enough to realize that. But... there is only one SMTP
server - the cobalt box.
I went to the server control panel and put the
domain name (bimir.com) into the 'Host/domain Aliases' field and saved
changes... but when I came back, this domain was gone! Is that a
different problem... or a symptom of the same problem I'm
having?
Ideas!
Thanks!
Ron
