Actually, if you've already done all the "set up the domain and IP" stuff,
they normally set up the e-mail and MX records. If not, you just call GCI
(or e-mail support@gci.net) and they do it as part of the setup.
However, when using Sam Spade to query 'enderakonline.com' it looks like
the mail stuff is already set to go to mail.enderakonline.com - just load
up sendmail or whatever and it should work...
Feel free to ask if you'd like a hand - I set mine up the same way, using
the Sendmail package in Debian...
