RE: [cobalt-users] MX/batched smtp question

["Robert Roose" <robertr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So all I have to do is the following?

Remove the vsite.
Make sure that no e-mail services exist for that domain name
Readd the vsite without e-mail alias?

But when I do that I get a configuration exactly as it is now.

Does cobalt work this strangely?
