[cobalt-users] Mail Server Question from Newbie



Cobalt newbie here.

I have set up a domain which I am hosting.  I want the domain to be able to
utilize "pop.domainname.com" for their pop mail server address.  I have set
up the DNS A records for "www.domainname.com" ,"domainname.com",
"pop.domainname.com", and a reverse record.  I have set up DNS MX records
for "pop.domainname.com" but for some reason mail clients cannot find
pop.domainname.com.  Mail clients can and do find "www.domainname.com" and
that works.  But what I'd like to be able to do is to use "pop" for mail
since I have transferred their site from another server and they would have
to change the email configuration for all of the users has this already for
server name.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me. The cobalt manual is not very
enlightening.
