You are saying that the Cobalt RAQ has been intentiaonally designed to ignore
standard
Interent rules and that it is not supposed to be used to host websites unless it
also is
allowed to handle mail for all mail accounts under the same domain?

No where in any of the documentation does it say that it MUST ALWAYS be used
as BOTH webhost AND webserver.  If that is true, then I want my money back.  That

is just absolutely absurd.  It makes no sense why they would not allow people to
use
the Cobalt RAQ as a webserver only.
