Just make sure you have MX records in the DNS for both cshore.com and mail.cshore.com,
and then if your server is named cshore.com, you might also want to add
mail.cshore.com in the alias field, just in case anyone tries to send email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Other than that it should go fine... (famous last words, I
know... ;)
