RE: [cobalt-users] Email problems - Can send, can't receive...

["Andrew Smith" <asmith@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Dee,
      I encountered a similar problem, however My error message was
complaining about to many hops.  To fix it I removed the domain A record
(dimar.org) from the dns.  I'm not terribly happy about the solution but it
works, one difference though between our setups is my dns is on another
server.
