The local server's name is www.nomealaska.org and now I have my DNS records pointing offsite to the new www.nomealaska.org. Our email is [email protected] and so I have nomealaska.org listed as an alias for the local server. DNS is still pointing to our local (no hostname) nomealaska.org. So if I change the name to mail.nomealaska.org, keeping the alias for now of nomealaska.org, things should work? I tried that this morning and could not receive mail. (email settings in client are still set to pop3 going to nomealaska.org and smtp is nomealaska.org. I didn't think to try to restart dovecot or anything so perhaps after changing the server name I should have done that. Maillog didn't have anything that jumped out - but I'm not the best at reading it. Things are working right now as is - I can shut off the web part of the services to avoid conflicts with the new site but things seem to work there for now as well - plus I'm still migrating a little off the old site so nice to log onto it for now. thx for any help, Jim -- Jim Dory Engineering City of Nome PO Box 281 102 Division St. Nome, AK 99762 907.443.6604 http://www.nomealaska.org _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
