Stroller, |

Thanks for getting back to me on this. My original intent was to only send |
4 |
mail from abulafia, not receive it from outside (of course it can be |
5 |
delivered locally). Is it still necessary to have an MX record made for |
6 |
abulafia? Maybe I'll go ahead and give that a try. |

Joomla has always had a valid address as far as mail.ipr.edu is concerned, |
9 |
but is from an address that doesn't exist locally on abulafia- matter? In my |
10 |
experience this from address hasn't mattered. Unfortunately in joomla I |
11 |
can't use an smtp server with ssl and a-plus requires it. If I could this |
12 |
whole mess could be avioded- I'm not a mail man as it were. |
