Re: [cobalt-users] Re: Terrible mail failure problem



 domain.com      >       mail.domain.com

yes, this is the line you want ("All mail for domain.com is to be
handled by the Mail eXchanger mail.domain.com")

 mail.domain.com >       mail.domain.com

This record would most likely cause some sort of recursion error, etc.

 If so, should one also add an MX record for www.domain.com?

Nope, just one MX record as listed above is fine.

Well thanks! I had it right but was wondering whether to add the second one.

Also, since you seem to know DNS...is it best to have a REVERSE entry for your main domain on your server on just domain.com or with a host added like www.domain.com or does it matter?
