RE: [cobalt-users] Need some Zone Record/Mail Problem help here.

[aljuhani <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

There is no problem at all.  You have one MX record for jasonandsarah.com 
which is (10  mail.jasonandsarah.com. [TTL=86400]  IP=209.15.182.23) and that 
is OK.

Why the mail gets delivered thruogh 'heidebreicht.com' is simply because the 
PTR record for your IP 209.15.182.23 is 'heidebreicht.com'. If you enter the 
IP address into the browser it will resolve to 'heidebreicht.com'. Reverse DNS 
entries for MX records is required but you only have to make the IP to reslove 
to one hostname.  Usually you can update the IP PTR records info from your ISP 
or IP address provider.
