RE: [cobalt-users] POP3 and Webmail

[aljuhani <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is no need for an smtp server, you can use the mail.lgkarsten.com for 
pop3 and smtp access.  Do you have POP before SMTP if that is the case you 
need first to check your email before sending and if not it shows that ugly 
outlook express error screen.

another thing you need to check:

1. the MX record you have should be:

mail.lgkarsten.com pointing to lgkarsten.com

2. an A record of:

lgkarsten.com pointing to 24.149.30.203

3. Under site settings, Enter for email aliases:

mail.lgkarsten.com, lgkarsten.com


Also, make sure that your client enter in the:

POP3 Server (Incoming): mail.lgkarsten.com
SMTP Server (outgoing): mail.lgkarsten.com

Just for a test purpose, I have connected sucessfully to your 
mail.lgkarsten.com on pop3 port 110 and smtp port 25.

So I do not see any problem.  It appears the settings of outlook express.

Have a small issue I was hoping someone could help me resolve or give
advice to.
I have a RaQ4 that is running as a DNS server as well as a virtual site
server (ns0.indytel.com)
that has one other virtual site on it running webmail and poping for
mail just fine.  My problem 
or issue is as follows:  I have Neomail Release1.25-5 loaded on this
server and it works just fine 
(send/receive) for the new site I just added.  
The problem that I have is having a client app like Outlook Express set
up to pop for mail.......for 
the lgkarsten domain keep getting an error that it cannot find
incoming/outgoing mail servers.  
The domain name that I am having issues with is lgkarsten.com......after
running the nslookup 
utilities I do see that I do not have a smtp server listed for
them.......I am fairly confident that I can 
correct that part.  I am sure that there is something fairly straight
forward that I am overlooking but
not quite sure how to find root cause.

Thanks to all in advance,
Bill
