Re: [cobalt-users] External Mail Server - from Raq3

[Mark Bitterling <mark@xxxxxx>]

It should be that simple, but unfortunately it is not that easy on my RAQ4.

Setting up the MX record works EXCEPT for email originating from the RAQ
itself.  I have been unable to figure out why, but if the domain website is
hosted on the RAQ then the RAQ's sendmail program looks for a mailbox locally
rather than sending the email to the mailserver specified in the MX record.

So far no one has been able to help me resolve this issue.
