Mail

[Damien Estrada]

But when i was running under Windows 2000 Advanced Server with the same
setting i have now ( except new SMTP and POP Servers ) it was working
great. I have the hopto.org settings to MX gc-site.hopto.org as my
external mail server. Would me creating a DNS record on my server do the
trick ??
