MX CNAME Check
WARNING: CNAME was returned for the following MX records:

The CNAME(s) that were returned are listed above. This is
not ok
per
the RFCs and can cause problems including mail being lost!
How to get this problem fixed? On Registrar's website? OR
on the
server, which file?
In the zone file on the nameserver. Change any MX records
that point
to
smtp.secureserver.net to point to smtp.where.secureserver.net.
I suppose making change on Registrar's website. What shall I
replace
where? OR just retain it exactly as
smtp.where.secureserver.net
You need to make the change on the web site of the provider that
hosts
your DNS. Registrars are used to register domains, they don't
necesarily operate the DNS (although some may do both, and perhaps
that's the case for you). Basically, go to whatever site you
normally
use to make changes to the contents of your domain.
smtp.where.secureserver.net is the actual name you need to put
in your
MX record.
A quick whois lookup shows that you used GoDaddy to register.
GoDaddy sets up bogus MX records and you can remove them.

10 xen02.satimis.com 220.232.213.178
20 smtp.secureserver.net - CNAME(s) - 64.202.166.12 (no glue)
30 mailstore1.secureserver.net 64.202.166.11 (no glue)

You can remove any MX record that you do not accept mail through.
Hi Robert,
Thanks for your advice.
This domain 'satimis.com' is for test purpose.
xen02.satimis.com is server name under testing. xen02, the 1st part of
the hostname, will be changed on testing another server.
smtp.secureserver.net is Godaddy server which I use it to receive mails
if the server under testing is not working or down. There is only one
user. All incoming mails will then be redirected to Godaddy server. I
can read the mails on Godaddy website.
I set the priority;
10 xen02.satimis.com
20 smtp.secureserver.net
for this purpose. All incoming mails will first arrive
xen02.satimis.com. If not available then they will be delivered to
smtp.secureserver.net
I have no idea of mailstore1.secureserver.net. Would it be the high
priority MX for filtering spam? smtp.secureserver.net the low
priority MX record?
TIA
B.R.
