RE: [cobalt-users] MX problem ?

[Clive Harper <CHarper@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only record you should not create if you are sharing the same
IP with multiple domains is the Reverse Lookup record that's the one
which points the IP address to a particular domain, so in the
example below you would not check the automatic reverse generation
when adding an A record for the domain.

Make sure that your Email Server Alias in site settings is
domain.com NOT mail.domain.com or www.domain.com

Also check that in the Mail settings you have entered www.domain.com
in the Hosts/Domain Aliases list.

I do not think this problem is actually to do with the MX record, I
received similar problems and it was nothing to do with my MX record
but with the way I had configured the email on the RAQ.
