[cobalt-users] RE: POP3 and Webmail

["B. Runge" <brunge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

Thank you for the help, however after making  the adjustments I am still
getting the error.
POP is set before SMTP.  If you could take a look I have provided
additional information
based on the Cobalt GUI.
