Re: [cobalt-users] Email Problems [raq3]

["Guy N. Hurst" <gnhurst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This looks like the same problem we have come across lately.
We found that even though we checked off "Accept Email for Domain" for 
the domain to receive email, it didn't. So we unchecked it, and 
manually entered it in the hosts/domains aliases. 
That seemed to make it work, but I don't feel comfortable with this 
solution. It more like rolling dice to see which combination worked.
What else is affected by that checkbox, anyway?
And what is the truly 'proper' cobalt way to put IPs/domains in the
Relay and Aliases boxes of the Email Parameters administration?

This was for a virtual host on a RaQ3i. We would like this to be
more predictable before we migrate more websites.

Thanks for any help.
