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.

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
