Re: [cobalt-users] Newbie Question on User's Email Raq3

[Christian Bonanno <cbonanno@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know of what you suffer from John. You can only send mail to 
joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx but not joe@xxxxxxxxxxx

It is a DNS problem.

You can fix it by making sure you have all the following in your DNS table:

www.domain.com ----> server.ip.add.ress
domain.com ----> server.ip.add.ress

I also put in the following entries, we were not sure if it helped 
but it does not hurt:
mail.domain.com ----> server.ip.add.ress
domain.com mail is sent to the Very-High priority mail server mail.domain.com

Members use mail.domain.com as the pop and smtp server address.

And make sure you hit the "Save changes to DNS server" button to 
restart the DNS server!

Let me know if it works.
