Hi, I'm having problems with MX records.... If - I create a new SOA for mydomain.com - Then create an MX record: - No Name - Type: MX - Data: my.mailserver.on.another.domain.com - Preference: 10 - TTL: 86400 If I do a DNS report with something like http://www.dnscolos.com/free-dns-report.html it reports that the MX record is my.mailserver.on.another.domain.com.mydomain.com (ie MYDNS is somehow joining the name of the server that I put into MyDNSAdmin with the name of the domain???) What am I doing wrong??? Thanks! James.
ok i can tell you why u getting mydomain.com.mydomain.com part twice when you setup your DNS recoard you setup "mydomain.com" as the TOP level so anything you add to that domain is webmail = webmail.mydomain.com to your problem there sorry i dont own an real DNS address so i cant help anymore than that simple heads up give me 10 mins as well to think bout something as well try for the data for the MX record put in the IP of the mail server see if thats works for you
If I change the MX record to 1.2.3.4 then it reports the MX record as being 1.2.3.4.mydomain.com Seems that it just wants to join the data put in the record gets postfixed with the domain name - is this right? I've got other services that I use (eg Zone Edit and Yahoo) where I can use an external mail server as my MX record.
