If you are not receiving mail at all, then you need to ask your DNS provider
to add an MX records pointing to www.abc.com plus you need to enable e-mail
services on the Raq and modify the parameters or leave them as is if they
are correct.

Subject: Re: SV: [cobalt-developers] DNS / email problem
Good Afternoon All,
My company hosts the web files for a client, however, another company holds
the DNS for this name & controls their email (lets say www.abc.com). The
company that owns the DNS only points their DNS name to our server via an
IP address.
Here is my problem:
Like I said, we setup a site on our server called www.abc.com only to host
the files. There are no A, Reverse, or MX records set up for this
site. The company that owns the domain www.abc.com points the domain to
our server via IP address.
We have several forms (using formmail at the current time) set up though
out their site. For example, on one of the forms, we set the "recipient"
to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This email address, in turn, forwards to 4 email
addresses: 2 external addresses and 2 abc.com addresses. The problem is
that the email is NOT being forwarded to two abc.com addresses.
I am thinking that since we have a site set up on our server called
abc.com, the email is never leaving our server because it sees a abc.com
set up on it.
I tried to change the name of the site on my server to abc1.com, thinking
that if it only reaches our site via IP, the site name wouldn't
matter. Unfortunatley, it does.
Any ideas why this isn't working??
If I confused anyone, I'm sorry. I am even more confused after writing
this email.
Thanx,
<<Eric>>
