RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ3: Setting up catch-all email

["Alex Lee" <alex@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you created DNS MX records for your domain?

This doesn't show it:

> shakadesign.com
Server:  sttlpop1.sttl.uswest.net
Address:  206.81.192.1

Authoritative answers can be found from:
shakadesign.com
        origin = dns29.register.com
        mail addr = root.register.com
        serial = 200103068
        refresh = 10800 (3H)
        retry   = 86400 (1D)
        expire  = 604800 (1W)
        minimum ttl = 3600 (1H)

Subject: [cobalt-users] RaQ3: Setting up catch-all email


Hello,

I have a RaQ3 that I am trying to set up as a "catch-all" for email
addressed to my domain.

I read through the archives and followed the HOW-TO at
http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/howto/cobalt_catchall_howto.html. My virtual
domain is www.shakadesign.com.

I set up the @www.shakadesign.com part correctly, and that seems to work --
any email sent to {NAME}@www.shakadesign.com works. However, the problem
comes when I try to set up email for @shakadesign.com (no "www".) When I
add this to the RaQ email properties for my username, I get "Invalid or
conflicting email addresses: @shakadesign.com."

I set up the DNS the way it is shown in the HOWTO, but since my RaQ is not
set up as its own DNS server as far as WHOIS is concerned, I am not sure if
that will make a difference. shakadesign.com resolves to
www.shakadesign.com in Register.com's DNS (I use their DNS servers.)

Please help! :)

Erica
