Re: [cobalt-users] Email problems on RaQ2 and RaQ3

[John Fraizer <tvo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nasser,

Thank you SO much for that tip.

Cobalt: Is there any reason why this "quirk" is not documented somewhere
on your website or why it is there at all?   We have always used CNAME's
for things like this.  IE; 

domain.com	IN	A	10.1.1.1
www.domain.com	IN	CNAME	domain.com.

This has ALWAYS worked for every other platform and does not violate any
RFC that I have found.

Just wondering...

BTW: Congrats on the Progressive Systems purchase.  You got a steal there
just by getting Michael Hullhorst.

John
