What if the Raq is only hosting, and mail pops and smtp is handle by an ISP
on a completely different network. The ISP controls the DNS.

Our problem is we have our hosting and mail services on the same Raq4. So
when we go to send mail, our Raq4 thinks it is the mail server for the host
only domain. We did not add any mail alias and made sure that the Raq4
didn't have any domain information in the email parameters and yet mail
still bounces back. We did send mail to the beginning MX address and it
didn't bounce back, but the client has yet to reply (which is nothing
unusual) So what are we missing here. On a Raq3 you just click off the
Accept Mail button when setting up the Vsite.
