After adding a new user, does it take the server some time before accepting mail? I have checked and rechecked and I still get mail returned. Is there an hour lag time or something? Oh, I'm on a RaQ4i.

From my experience it takes minutes, not hours (also on a RaQ 4i).

Infact it should be instantaeous.

There should not be any delays at all.

Are you using your ISP smtp server for outgoing email? or your own domain mail relay?

If you're usint your own domain mail relay, try using your isp's

Send 2 emails to yourself.

you@yourdomain.com

and

you@www.yourdomain.com


Result:

If both email bounced, some configuration is not correct.
Check your DNS server MX record. (check spelling of the domain name)


If you@www.yourdomain.com gets through and the other didn't, you mail server alias need to be youdomain.com
