Ouch. How true. But I was completely new to this and it was recommended to me. I would do it differently now.

You've asked a lot of good questions and I'll try and work through them later.. I'm still pretty messed up here but things are working now, to some degree.



#  Lastly, go to the SiteAdmin and check SiteSettings to ensure that
  www is 'Host Name', nomecity.org is 'Domain Name' and 'Web
  Server Aliases', and mail.nomecity.org is 'Email Server Aliases'.

Done.


You might have a problem is you have multiple raq's with the same users on them. If you do, you will need one of the more expert to help you.


I'm using different user names for the email accounts if that helps.


I was talking about the domains on each Raq. You don't have nomecity.org set up on both do you?

I had mail.nomecity.org set up as an alias under the sitemanagement email server aliases as well as an MX record under DNS server parameters, so it would not allow me to install it under Email Server parameters=> host/domain aliases. When I sent a test message, it would append nomecity.org on the end of the sender's email domain name. So I deleted it from the sitemanagement email server aliases, and was then able to add it (mail.nomecity.org) to the control panel =>email server parameters aliases. It then seemed to work fine.

By the way, when did you set up the MX record? When I check the dns as register.com (your server) I get the correct info. When I check one of the ones above, I get only the A records and not an A record for mail.nomecity.org. It looks like propagation is part of your problem. When I set up a new site, I normally wait 48 hours to test. (unless I modify my hosts file in windows)

Ok, most of my problem was a firewall problem. I finally got that sorted out and mail seems to be working now. Lots of cleanup to do and lots to learn yet..
