I've noticed when I attempt to setup an email account on my iphone, there seems to be a problem with the number of characters in the incoming/outgoing mail server settings.

For instance, I have a server where I host email for myself and my sister-in-law's business.

when i use settings (like these, but these are not *actually* my real settings, but the same length of 36 characters as the real ones) I get a setup error.


incoming/outgoing server:
mail.veryownlongdomainnamegohere.com

login
jennifer@veryownlongdomainnamegohere.com


However, when I change the incoming/outgoing servers to my other domain on the same mailserver, it works.

incoming/outgoing server:
mail.otherdomainname.com

login
jennifer@veryownlongdomainnamegohere.com



Anyone have any ideas? Could the length of jennifer's domain name be causing an issue? When she uses my domain name to connect and send/receive email, it works just fine.
