But why the redundancy? There's nothing funny or weird about setting MX to www.mydomain.com - you are getting too fixated on the "www" part of the domain name. It's the *name of the virtual site* that matters and it just happens to be www.mydomain.com
Ahhhhhhh. I think I get it now. The above statement applies when I set up a new site with a "fully qualified domain name" (per the Cobalt manual) as www.mydomain.com. But I'm missing one critical step in here somewhere....
if I *never* set an MX record or A record for mail.mydomain.com, how the heck does it work when a user sets their mail client to send/receive from mail.mydomain.com? My guess is it wouldn't, and they'd have to just set their mail server as mydomain.com (no hostname). Is this right?
And one of you guys please check out my previous post," [cobalt-users] DNS on RaQ 4i: primary name server defaults to host name? (long)"
