Didn't MacNN used to have a Server forum? No more I guess? Oh well this seems as good place as any for a server question I guess:

I'm setting up a new server. I went through all the mail configuration stuff. Set up all the options I want, set up aliases for other domains i'm hosting mail for. Then I went into workgroup admin, made the users, enabled mail, just like i had done on my 10.3 server. I've done everything I know of, but when i send emails to these addresses, or try to check mail on these address, i still get "mailbox does not exist" errors.

One possible source of my problems is the ever-confusing 'Mail Server" field, in the "Mail" tab of a user account in Work Group admin. For some reason, on my old 10.3 server, I have the Mail Server set to the internal VPN IP address of my server. On the new 10.5 server, i've tried it's internet IP, and I tried the domain names of the user's email addresses. Nothing seems to work. What should I put here? Is this my problem or do I have problems elsewhere?
