I have some trouble with the dns-editor in ISPConfig. When I try to add a MX-record (or CNAME-record) that points to another domain, it becomes wrong. Lets say I have a mail-server at mail.mainserver.com Then for my site-domain I want to setup a MX-record that points to that domain, like this: mydomain.com MX mail.mainserver.com I click on the add MX-button, then fill in: Hostname: [I leave this blank] Mailserver hostname: mail.mainserver.com But this creates something like this: mydomain.com MX mail.mainserver.com.mydomain.com I even tried using mail.mydomain.com and creating a CNAME, but this creates the same result: mail.mydomain.com CNAME mail.mainserver.com.mydomain.com Seems like it automaticly ALWAYS adds the ".mydomain.com" to the end? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I use version 3.0.1.1
Just a dot I think you need to add a dot behind the hostname of the mailserver. I have experience the same problem. You should fill in the next: Hostname: [I leave this blank] Mailserver hostname: mail.mainserver.com. Don't ask me why. I only noticed it when I added a MX record to my own site and when I could not send an email to that domain.
I actually tried that as well, but I will try it once again just to be sure. I will post again with the results.
Strange, but it worked now. Adding a dot is common, and I am 100% sure that I tried it. I guess I did not wait the minute it takes for ISPConfig to run the updates. Thank you anyways for pointing it out.
