Re: [cobalt-users] Different IP address for domain mail &website

[Nancy Montano <nmontano@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Yes, the web site is moving to another server.  If I understand what you are
saying.  If I change the host name of the mail server from "www" to "mail",
the email users need to change their incoming & outgoing server names to
"mail.domainname.com."  Right now users put in the server names as
"domainname.com without the  term "mail" in before.

Thanks,

Nancy
