[cobalt-users] Re: DNS HOWTO - MX Record www.domain.com - Why?

["Raymon" <cirtrac@xxxxxxx>]

<<snip>>

|I normally would want to use mail.domain.com, but the guide at
|pkg.nl.cobalt.com has the following warning in Step 4 which makes me wary:

<<snp>>

|If I set up
|A record for mydomain.com > x.x.x.x
|A record for www.mydomain.com > x.x.x.x
|MX record for mail.mydomain.com > x.x.x.x
|(no PTR because it's a name based site)

|Would this NOT work?

|Thank you,

 This is how I did it , and it works for me
Add an A record for mail.mydomain.com
which would give you 

A record for mydomain.com > x.x.x.x
A record for www.mydomain.com > x.x.x.x
A record for mail.mydomain.com > x.x.x.x
MX record for mail.mydomain.com > x.x.x.x

Good luck,
Raymon
