[BlueOnyx:12582] Re: Mail server disable problem

[Roy Urick]

I agree.

If I had the disable flag set, any emails sent through that site would 
instantly be rejected as no such user. Uncheck the disable server box 
(and more importantly make sure its not set with root domain mail alias) 
and it happily forwards the messages along to the MX record for the root 
domain.
