[cobalt-users] Cobalt MX record



Question : When setting up a MX record for a virtual site that exists on a
cobalt RAQ server should the MX record point back to the virtual site or the
primary site name ?

EX. My DNS is hosted on a seperate Linux box. Suppose I have two sites
configured on the RAQ. The root site (home) and
one virtual site.

home=cobalt.mydomain.com
Virstual=site1.otherdomain.com

The MX record for cobalt.mydomain.com is as follows :
preference = 15 , mail exchanger = cobalt.mydomain.com (Note : this works,
the domain gets mail)

The MX record for site1.otherdomain.com is as follows:
preference = 15, mail exchnager = cobalt.mydoaim.com (Note: this does not
work)

It produces this error:
554 5.0.0 MX list for site1.otherdomain.com. points back to
cobalt.mydomain.com
554 5.3.5 <site1.otherdomain.com>... Local configuration error

My guess is that the MX record for the virtual site should point to
site1.otherdomain.com

I am looking for some friendly advise. Sorry if this is somewhat off the
topic.
