[cobalt-users] Acceptance of domain literals problem

["Santiago Montalvan" <smontalvan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The funny thing is that the server is able to receive e-mails sent to
postmaster.AT.brattain.com, they end up at the admin account which I assume
is the way is intended to be.  If you look at the www.dnsreport.com tests
then you will see the test named "Acceptance of postmaster address" and the
server passes that test.  Like I said, we do receive and send all e-mails
just fine, I suppose I am just being picky and I would like to know what
this error is all about.  Anyway any ideas would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Santiago.

The test your using at  www.dnsreport.com  wants brattain.com to receive
email
addresed to postmaster...
The only 'user' postmaster is the server.
If brattain.com is the server then you may have a problem.
If you want to get rid of the error, use an email server alias of postmaster
for the site admin of brattain.com
