Mail Server Question
by Tech List Kenya 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi guys, I have a question. I am hosted by a reseller, and my domain is example.com. I can access my mails from webmail me(a)example.com or setup outlook to retrieve the mails. Now, I have 3 more 'staff' members with three extra email accounts. Question(s): can I setup a mail server like exchange to be retrieving all *(a)example.commails? How do I configure cPanel to do that? Can I create new user accounts and emails from exchange or do I have to create the email accounts in cPanel as well, i.e. if I set up sales(a)example.com in exchange, will it reflect in my hosting or do I have to go to cPanel and create it as well? Anything else I need to know?

Websites of current governments

I happened by http://www.noupe.com/showcases/the-ultimate-ugly-showcase-of-current-govern… *The biggest fault with Kenya’s government website is there poor use of justified text alignment. They also use a crazy color palette to catch your attention which again doesn’t work!* Well, at least ours is way better than Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Costa Rica but we still have a long way to go.

by aki 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hehehe... places in Europe and US @ minus 17 deg and worst winter ever for decades, Temp at Lake Bogoria Area today was 30 Deg Plus and what a serene area. The hot springs an added sight to see and the escarpment is something else. Birds, You can use a regular car to access Lake Bogoria, 90% is tarmac. Distance from Nakuru is 100kms. From Nakuru take the B4 road towards mogotio/marigat/kabarnet. Discover Kenya. :-) -- "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

MX records issues: please advice
by Al Kags 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hi all, I need some advice. I changed domain hosts on 30th and I wanted to point my MX records to Onecom who are hosting my local server (exchange). Did that Tuesday... When you ping, it shows onecom IP. However no mails are coming in from outside. I have sent myself mail from gmail and it returns a mail delivery error as below: Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 relay not permitted (state 14). I am aware that propagation of my mail domain will take time (up to 72 hours) but I seem to still be having a problem. is this still a propagation issue? Please advice. Al
