I sent mails out through hotmail because if I send out through courier, I cannot receive replies due to the authentication problems I have. In all the materials I have read about Courier, I have not seen anything said about DNS and MX records. Do I really need to use DNS and MX records? We receive our Mails through our ISP who is based in Italy. The way it works is that our Mails are delivered to our ISP and we now download from there. We have over a hundred mail users here.
THANK you very much for the piece about Authentication. After reading it, I now have a perfect understanding of the Courier Authentication process, and I believe I will be able to proceed now and make this work. I know about DNS and MX records, but we do not use these in our Windows Mail Server to receive our Mails, and we use the same ISP for our LINUX Server Mails. Thank you very much once again. The Authentication piece is so clear that I am certain COURIER will work now. But I will also appreciate if you can send me something about COURIER using DNS and MX records.
