RE: [cobalt-users] what is the right way to set of dns

["Tony" <isplists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This works for us:

A record: domain.com > 111.111.111.111
A record: www.domain.com > 111.111.111.111
PTR:      111.111.111.111 > domain.com
PTR: 	    111.111.111.111 > www.domain.com
A record: mail.domain.com > 111.111.111.111
MX: domain.com > mail.domain.com

For the catch-all alias add  ' @domain.com '
to the user that should get all stray email. 

Have your users use mail.domain.com for both their
POP & SMTP settings in their mail client if you have
the POPbeforeSMTP pkg installed. 

Double check the Main e-mail server settings in Control Panel
to be sure that domain.com, the IP and www.domain.com were auto 
entered in the appropriate places.
