    Ispconfig appears to be appending .mydomain.com to the end of the MX record how do I prevent this if I want to use a non ISPCONFIG MX?

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    mufflershoppeautoservice.com. 300 IN MX 20 mx2.emailsrvr.com.mufflershoppeautoservice.com.

    Should be:
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    mufflershoppeautoservice.com. 300 IN MX 20 mx2.emailsrvr.com.

    Disregard I just figured it out. For anyone else when adding the MX record make sure you use a trailing . on the Mailserver hostname

    Not ISPConfig is appending the zone name, BIND is appending it as any fully qualified domain name in BIND DNS server has to end with a dot. If you miss adding a dot, then BIND treats it as a subdomain of the zone. So it's actually not ISPConfig specific at all, it applies to any DNS server.
