Hi all

Well I finally got it to work, and the info on the page is correct.  The
only thing I didn't do is the web server alias.

The thing that complicated it was that with the "auto DNS setup" enabled if
you don't put the alias in when you set up the site first, when you go back
to edit it the "site.com" is already added to the DNS and the setup script
just bombs with the entry already present.  I ended up deleting all of the
DNS setup and re entering everything.

I Believe in the end the thing I was missing was I only had 1 DNS MX record
for site.com, the www.site.com was missing.  The only thing I would like to
get rid of is when mail is sent I would like to get rid of the www in the
sent mail address.

Thanks for the help
Bob
