[cobalt-users] RaQ4i : MX problem : Local configuration error



"MX list for www.designwall.co.uk. points back to pridns.artejano.com"

Where pridns.artejano.com is the main identity of the server and
designwall.co.uk is the site I'm having problems with.

While I know this has been covered before and I have browsed the archive, I
can't see what I'm doing that's causing this problem. this is my first
attempt of sharing two sites on the same IP. Up until this point I've been
using a different address for each virtual host; setting up sites using the
following system...

ADD DNS:
domain.com in A ip.add.res.s
www cname @
mail cname @
domain.com in MX 30 domain.com
Ask ISP to create PTR record for domain.com

ADD SITE:
Add "domain.com" into the Email Server Aliases field
Set up the users (with one as @www.domain.com)

Modify the /etc/hosts file to add www.domain.com
Reload the mailserver

This time around I have done exactly the same, but have put the site onto
the same IP address as an existing site (mail is working for the other
site). Nothing I do will make email work for the new site apart from
changing the /etc/hosts file to the new domain name. However this stops it
from working for the other site.

I've tried changing the MX record to deliver email to the other sites mail
address but this changes nothing. Help!
