I had a similar problem to yours - i found that changing hte name of the e-smith box domain to any other than the one i owned allowed me to do what you require, I currently have my e-smith box called........ builtfrom.scrap.com.... and i dont suffer any detriment......... I rebuilt it from scratch when i gave it this name, so you may have to do likewise

hope this helps

This comes up quite often on the forums and I think it is documented somewhere.

In e-smith-manager-- go to hostnames & addresses
The ' WWW ' host is probably set to your e-smith box IP address
Modify this to the IP address of your hosted site and save changes.

That should do it ! ;-}

Strange !
Only other suggestion I can make is to clear the browser cache - it may be pulling the old local page from there instead of going out looking for the new address.

No It doesn't I tried all the options, but when i restart e-smith server, Then i have again bij hostsnames and adresses I have again my local ip -adress, strange isn't it, now i am going to try tomorrow or friday to update my e-smith server with some patches , but i think that doesn't matter, Do you have some other suggestions.

Thanks for helping me

under the user preferences tab in webmail settings you have the option to change the *from* address. so that ahould allow you to affect the necessary changes

I must point out that onlyu 5 users use this box and we use a multidrop mail box with an ISP & I have NO MX records pointing at this box

hope this helps
