[X-Servers] Mail Server Mailing List

[Lydia Osborne]

host www.wc.edu brings up the IP address of the web server. The domain 
name for the new mail server is different from the domain name of the 
old mail server and both  have different MX records. We can send e-mail 
from the new server but occasionally it just won't go to a certain domain.
Thanks Peter.
