Re: [cobalt-users] Mail Openweb Mail and disaster recovery

[email-sub@xxxxxxxxxx]

I have dealt with the error before...
Assuming you check that your MX record and all DNS is setup properly (and 
propagated)
the next thing to do is delete the user account, and re-create it.
If this fails, then delete the website, and re-create it.
(Make sure you back up before you do this)

I had that same error, and all sendmail files had been created properly but 
for some reason re-creating the user account in one case fixed it, and 
re-creating the whole site for another case.

Let me say that this is an overly agressive way to fix the problem, but it 
worked for me.
(Its not like I eat/sleep/dream sendmail, but I tend to know my way around it.)

Good luck!
