I setup three cobalt servers. Two are primary and secondary dns servers and the third is the email server. The email server worked correctly at a different location. I changed the IP address, gateway, primary and secondary dns ip addresses on the mail server.

I added a MX record on DNS1, as this is where the domain for the email resides.

the dns servers are dns3.applelaptopbattery.com and dns4.applelaptopbattery.com. The email server is setup as pop3.getadeal.com.

I can ping www.getadeal.com and getadeal.com, the dns servers and everything resolves correctly. When I try to send or receive email via outlook express, I get the following error:

The host 'pop3.getadeal.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'pop3.getadeal.com', Server: 'pop3.getadeal.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Did I miss a step? What should I check and/or verify?

um...pop3.getadeal.com does not ping...did u even create it?

Check the DNS.......and PTR records. Check if the A record for Pop3 exists and is pointing to the right IP.

Try the IP address in your Outlook. If you put the IP address and it still doesnt work. That means something is wrong with your DNS.

On cobalts, for site settings, under mail, it always look for mail.domain.com unless you specify the POP3.domain.com

While internal to the network, I can send and receive emails. However, when external, such as going to the internet, accessing yahoo mail, I get the following error:
Message from yahoo.com. Unable to deliver message to the following address(es).

<keith@getadeal.com>: 63.145.181.67 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 <keith@getadeal.com>... Relaying denied. Please check your mail first or restart your mail session. Giving up on 63.145.181.67.

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

I have three cobalt servers, two are dns servers and one is a mail server. The dns servers are dns3.applelaptopbattery.com and dns4.applelaptopbattery.com. The mail server is pop3.getadeal.com.

I created a MX record on both DNS3 & dns4, added an A record on dns3 & dns4 for pop3.getadeal.com. Also, I added all the IP addresses for the email receipients of pop3.getadeal.com, pop3.getadeal.com, www.getadeal.com, and getadeal.com into the Relay for the following Hosts/Domains on dns3 & dns4. Also the email service is enabled on dns3 & dns4.

I then setup the email service on pop3.getadeal.com, added all the ip addresses of the email reciepients, the domain names, mail.getadeal.com, getadeal.com, www.getadeal.com,and pop3.getadeal.com to the relay box on email services. I then added getadeal.com and pop3.getadeal.com to the web aliases and email aliases.

I am perplexed as to why email is not working.

Help!!!!!!
