<DIV><SPAN class=294160602-20032009><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Do I need

causing the "status=bounced (mail for helena.karori.net.nz loops back to
myself)" message? I have searched various websites about this, but am
getting confused about my hostname, domain name, server name settings.
What should they be?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
