I have a new server being set up which only has an ip address.

Is there a special syntax to send to a raw address, or isn't it allowed?

AFAIK, you have to use real host names, not IP addresses. Either set up a correct /etc/hosts or a local name server.

+----and here the quote ends----+ I think so: try writing a mail to zentara@[203.134.23.789] - you should wrap the ip in square brackets [].
