Hi Guys,

thanks for the fast help. I'll into it, but the problem is, my ISP
which has to change the zonefile is kinda slow. I've been calling the
hotline
for hours but the still can't even tell me if they really used CNAME's.
Anyway I'll try to change this if they have.

The site www.dnsrecord.com is pretty nice, but like I indicated there is one
more problem.
Since I run both Mailserver on the same IP www.dnsrecord.com gives me this
output :

WARNING: One or more of your mailservers claims to be a host other than what
it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a
space or a dash, then the host name). This probably won't cause any harm,
but is a technical violation of RFC821 4.3.

mail.nsa-clanpage.com claims to be host www.eternalflames.de.

I only have one IP on which the Mailservice should run for 2 Domains. When
you log in via Telnet on
Port 25 it answers with the first domain, and the reverse record for the ip
also refers to eternalflames.de
Could this be a problem in the future too ?
