Re: [cobalt-users] Strange Problem

["K.A." <khalil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is one possibility or a clue at least. If you are using aliases in your
DNS entries for mail MX record (which should not be), hotmail will not
accept emails. For example,

(something like this)
mail.domain.com      CNAME      domain.com
domain.com        MX    10     mail.domain.com

I have that article saved somewhere, if I found out I will post it.
