Hi All,

I'm new to the Cobalt world and have received my new Raq550 last week.

Since last week I trying to setup my Raq with an virtual server (shared IP).
The parameters I entered are:

"www" for the host name and "mydomain.com" for the domain name.
In the web services configuration I have setup "mydomain.com" as alias.
No other alias are setup.

The only way to send mail to a user of this site is: user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and the address user@xxxxxxxxxxxx doesen't work and reply with "relay not
allowed".

In my DNS servers (don't use the Raq DNS server) I have the following
entries:
mydomain.com A IP
www.mydomain.com A IP
mail.mydomain.com A IP
mydomain.com MX mail.mydomain.com
-------------------
Check sendmail.cw.  You may need to add the entry for mydomain.com. You
should also try a manual run of sendmail in debug mode. Sendmail may
be translating www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com on incoming mails and
ending up in a loop. Check for errors in /var/log/maillog. See if either
or both domains have a reverse DNS mapping.
