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

[Chris Fragogiannis <franki@xxxxxxxx>]

My MX records for the domain for example "mydomain.com" are the following:
Domain name: mydomain.com
Mail server name: www.mydomain.com

However, I can use "mail.mydomain.com" as my Incoming Mail Server although I haven't set
any record for "mail.mydomain.com"! How can this be done?
