Re: [cobalt-users] Need some Zone Record/Mail Problem help here.

["Serhan Sevim" <sevims@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jason,
I'll try to answer as "sendmail-wise" not "cobalt-wise". Meanwhile I don't use the email feature of cobalt but I do use sendmail on other non-cobalt servers.

Now, first of all that 'heidebreicht.com' you're seeing in the header " might" be the hostname of your cobalt server. Since 2 variables are visible in the header 
1) Hostname
2) remote mail server's IP address 

heidebreicht.com[xx.xx.xxx.xx] 
something like that.

Second of all. Using a CNAME is wrong, it's not supported according to RFC's. You should be using A record instead.

Where is that nitra.chevydealer.com domain  is located in your data center ?
