[cobalt-users] Cannot send mail

[Ted Sariyski <tsariysk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a problem to send mail with a CobaltQube-2. I can receive mail
from anywhere but I can send only in my local segment. When I send  a
mail to an address outside I get returned mail like the one attached at
the bottom. I am running this server only for a couple of days and I am
not very positive, but it seems to me that the problem with the mail
aroused after a reboot two days ago. The system froze at "APPLETALK
SETTINGS". Luckily at that point I had already have remote access to The
Cube. I deactivated APPLETALK and rebooted the machine. This time it
frozed at "MAIL SETTINGS". At this point the Cube-2 does not respond to
pressing "SETTINGS" for more than 2 seconds. It doesn't offer me an
option to reboot the machine from the back-panel buttons. If I restart
any service from the UI the boot process proceeds until the host name
and IP appear on the LED. 

In addition, it takes enormously long to work with the Administrator
site on CobaltQube-2. For example, just resizing the browser (Netscape
4.7) while on Administrator page results in load-redraw-load-redraw-...
- between 5 and 10 seconds. The same delay when move between different
links in the Administrator cite. I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH OUR
HOME PAGE, only with the Administrator page. 

As I said am running the cube only for a couple of days. I do not
whether the above mentioned problems relate to each other at all. The
fact is that the machine can not boot nicely and that I can not send
mail.

I will highly appreciate any links/documents/advice/help that will help
me to resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance.
Ted
