[cobalt-users] Email Help



I am setting up the Cube3 for my email and have a question.

THE SITUATION:
Can receive mail from any email address.
Cannot send it back. I have POP before SMTP checked off.
I can send to and from email address within the domain name of the
server. I use domainmonger.com to host my DNS so I turned off DNS server
on the Cube.

MY TCP settings are as follows:

HOST NAME: www
DOMAIN: mycubedomain.net
DNS servers: the DNS IPs of domain monger where my domain name records
are held IP address: the static IP of my DSL line
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0

ON DOMAINMONGER my settings are:
A record mycubedomain.net with and IP of #.#.#.#
A record www.mycubedomain.net with IP of #.#.#.#
MX record www.mycubedomain.net handles mail for the domain
mycubedomain.net

Am I doing something wrong in my settings because I get the following
error when emailing.

Now here is the question. What am I doing wrong? I have set up domains
on many NT and Mac Servers, but this is giving me a brain freeze.

Thanks
