MS Outlook can't find mail servers

A long winded one I'm afraid!

I have a domain registered and setup which is: www.domain1.com. It has various email address setup with the mail server in MS Outlook being set to {mail.domain1.com}. All of these email address work fine using MS Outlook.

I have a second domain registered: www.domain2.org which is a subdomain of domain1.

I have some email addresses setup as xxxxdomain2.org and these appear to work fine using Hored and Squirrel but not MS Outlook.

CPanel Webmail MS Outlook setup info says that the mail server addresses for xxxxdomain2.org are: {mail.domain2.org}, however, MS Outlook complains that it can not locate these servers.

Any ideas anyone?

Yes, you will need to use mail.domain1.com as the mail server for domain2.org
