Re: [cobalt-users] email question...



The ISP of the domain who he is using is one of those wireless companies
that discontinued service. The continued to provide mail services on
incoming mail only,he needs to use my server as the outgoing mailserver. I
understand your concern below, reason why current solution of adding each
domain is not the answer.  I will take a look at the /var/log as you
suggested.
