Re: [cobalt-users] POP3 probs.



The web site, telnet, ftp, smtp works but the pop doesn't.  It always says
the domain is not found.  Any idea?

Well, you're not telling us what domain is "failing" for pop and you didn't give us the error message (both of which are important to know) but the first place to look, usually, isn't dns (if everything else is working), it's the mx records.

Briefly, make sure you mx record is set this way:

domain.com -----------> domain.com

don't put any hostname in your mx records. Then go to the web site itself and check "email for this domain". Now any email sent to a valid user on that domain will get there -- the address can be user@xxxxxxxxxx (not www is necessary). If that's not helpful, give us the information I described above.
