RE: [cobalt-users] Mail Server Names

["John Cordeiro" <jcordeiro@xxxxxxxx>]

I am moving a domain onto our server for a customer and to minimise impact
to them want to maintain the settings they had on the old server.  This
means that they need to use mail.domain.com instead of www.domain.com for
their mail servers settings.

I know that this is possible, I just can't seem to make it work.

Simple, do this
create the domain www.domain.com
create an A record for domain.com check create reverse lookup
Create an A record for www.domain.com check create reverse lookup
Create an A record for mail.domain.com check create reverse lookup
create an MX leave host blank, domain = domain.com, mail server =
mail.domain.com
create an A for ftp the same as any other if needed.

good luck
Don't use Cnames!
