Re: [cobalt-users] POP3 probs.

Well, yes. acnsnet.com, right? The problem I was raising is if this 
is the domain with the pop problem and does it have a web site tagged 
to it? Is it www.acnsnet.com? Or the "acns-on-line" site you have? On 
the Raq3, pop is tagged to a web site so this actually can be 
important.

What does the GUI's dns screen say about the domain?

No, I'm with you. I've never heard of any pop server not needing mx records.

Usually, on the Raq3, pop is set to the specific web site (with its 
users) and the mx is set domain to domain (no hostname). You can set 
the site to receive email for that domain and then all users on that 
site will receive their email at the address: user@xxxxxxxxxx

That's the usual way Raq email is set up. (shrug)

At any rate, you might try to do an mx record for the pertinent site 
through your GUI and then check to make sure the specific site has 
been added to your "receive mail" list (in the dns section of the 
GUI's control panel section). See if that helps at all.
