Ok so mine works - Lets break it down.

1. Domain Name should be       domain.net

2. Host Name should be         www

3. I have three 'A' records in my DNS

    domain.net >>>>>   195.nn.nn.nn

    www.domain.net >>>>  195.nn.nn.nn

    mail.domain.net >>>>   195.nn.nn.nn

4. I have one MX Record

    domain.net   .. email sent high priority to   mail.domain.net


5.  I have set web server aliases as    domain.net,www.domain.net

6.   I have set  email server aliases as    domain.net  ONLY

7.   I have set the email alias for AUSER as    @www.domain.net


_ I don't understand how any of this works - But I do it all on a wing and a
(naturally) prayer


This stuff is definitely not plug and play - more like plug and pray
It works anyhow
