I've tried the solution posted in
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2001-February/034640.html as
suggested, but it doesn.t seems to work.

Right now I have the domain meltinpot.com with these entry:
A record:  meltinpot.com    -->        208.155.66.222
A record:  www.meltinpot.com   --> 208.155.66.222
A record:  mail.meltinpot.com -->      212.210.233.35
MX record  meltinpot.com  -->          mail.romano.it
MX record www.meltinpot.com  -->  mail.romano.it

meltinpot.com is the only domain on    208.155.66.222



romano.it has these entry:
.romano.it.	3600	SOA	ntweb.romano.it. Administrator.romano.it. (
			4	; serial
			60	; refresh (1 min)
			600	; retry (10 mins)
			86400	; expire (1 day)
			3600 )	; minimum (1 hour)
romano.it.	3600	NS	ntweb.romano.it.
romano.it.	3600	MX	1 mail.romano.it.
mail.romano.it.	3600	A	212.210.233.35
www.romano.it.	3600	A	212.210.233.40
romano.it.	3600	SOA	ntweb.romano.it. Administrator.romano.it. (
			4	; serial
			60	; refresh (1 min)
			600	; retry (10 mins)
			86400	; expire (1 day)
			3600 )	; minimum (1 hour)


Before transferring the domain meltinpot.com into our raq meltinpot.com had
these entry:
meltinpot.com      NS record    ntweb.romano.it
meltinpot.com     MX record         mail.romano.it
meltinpot.com     MX record     mail.romano.it
www.meltinpot.com A record 212.210.233.41


The emails account were using mail.romano.it as pop and smtp server.



The administrator of the romano.it server says that he didn't changed
anything on their server.

I'm not an expert of DNS, and I haven't still found any solutions.
