RE: [cobalt-users] weird email errors

["Jeff Edwards" <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tobias,

It would appear that there is no MX Record setup for your Domain.  See:
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=mmcable.com 

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/mail.ch?domain=chunn@xxxxxxxxxxx

Since you state that the provider only creates a single A Record, that
indeed is the problem. 
No MX Record in DNS = No email

It appears that your provider is only a Domain Parking Service.
http://www.blackcab.com/
They may not be willing to provide full services??

If you don't intend upon simply having the Domain parked, then the problem
may be at the Registrar with Name Servers not being properly assigned.  

Both of the below headers do appear to be the same piece of spam. It doesn't
appear that the spammers are using your server though, just simply trying to
spam users at your domain.

Good Luck!

Subject: [cobalt-users] weird email errors

Hi Guys,

I'm getting these email error since I have a new domain on my webserver. The
problem with the domain is that the provider only creates one A Record and
this a star (*). I think that might be the problem.
Anyway I get about 30 to 90 error emails per day ever since. I don't really
understand what the problem is, or if it really has anything to do with the
DNS.
Are these spammers trying to relay on my cobalt?

I've included 2 message for example below:
