Re: another config problem

Hi
All of the e-mails are the same
with the corresponding mesages sitting in
e-mail servers holding area.
So now that there is no longer a mx record pointing to www.rsegroup.com
I still can't figure it out. If it is something being sent to a
AOL user I would think that it would say so but there is no indications
(at least that I can see) that this is so.


Thank you Chris and others for all your help
