Re: [cobalt-users] everyone.net - sort of resolved (problem gone away)

["Kelly Caldwell" <kelly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use everyone.net for some of my domains on RAQ3. I'm pretty new to this
arena and have heard the "Do not use CNAMES".....however, I do have CNAMES
for the sitemail.everyone.net and have not had any issues (yet) with it.
Right now I have 4 that point mail over there and 1 that just uses the
Community.

I wonder if they can give you an IP, instead? I also have one site that
points to Outbridge's IP they gave me and I have that as an A record.
