[cobalt-users] XTR mail host name problem



My XTR has been running for nearly 2 months now. One web site defined,
"flinthomes.net."  The XTR box has a host name of "faar" and we have a
dozen  users  defined  on it. Last week, all of a sudden, all browsers
were  being redirected to "faar.flinthomes.net" when they tried to hit
"www.flinthomes.net."  A  local  ISP  was able to log in and found the
configuration file for Apache had it set to do that. He reset the file
and  we've  been  fine  since. He did say that whatever changed it the
first time will probably do it again at some point.

I  attempted  to add a new user to the system the other day and all of
their  email  is  bouncing.  So I logged in as the user using Cobalt's
WebMail and sent an email to myself from this user's new account. When
I  received  the  email  it  had  come from "rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
instead  of  "rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  ...  this is that bloody host name
problem again.

The  GUI  shows  a  web  server alias of "www" (which didn't help last
weeks  problem)  and  the  email  server alias is blank. These setting
haven't  changed  since  we  turned  the  box  on  two months ago. The
existing  accounts,  such  as my own, are working fine, it's only with
the newly added accounts is this happening.

Any help is most appreciated!
