[BlueOnyx:12099] Re: Off server email issue

[Rod Morgan]

  First, thanks for the help...removing the email server alias solved 
the issue.

At the slight risk of creating consternation with the list members, I'd 
like to suggest that we consider modifying the behavior 'Disable Email 
for Domain' checkbox.  I propose that checking the option causes the 
same behavior as removing the email server alias.  It's 
counter-intuitive to me that "disabling email" doesn't really disable 
email but causes email to bounce.  This is not a big issue, but might 
make the GUI more intuitive to new users of BlueOnyx.

Respectfully, Rod Morgan
