Re: [cobalt-users] Cobalt RAQ4 Mail problem

["support" <satan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

I noticed this too. I had one web site with no MX pointer created, and
hosted on the cobalt! When i send email to that server from outside , it
return error message (normal no MX), but when i send the same email using
the same cobalt smtp server, the mail go to the good mailbox of the good
virtual domain, and i can get retreive the mail with the user.

I think the raq is intellegent enought to know the domain it host and dont
really take a look to the mx record to send the mail. DNS configuration can
be envolve in your problem to (if you use auto dns configuration you maybe
have to look if it created the mx record pointing to the raq itself or your
dedicated mail server.

Dont forget that www.123.com and xyz.123.com dont really matter to email
because the HOST name are not involve in mail delivery. Mx is done to
123.com no HOST name!!!!

Hope this help you
