Herouth As it turns out there I had szabgab.com configured as CNAME so no matter what did I do with the MX record it was not taken into account. I changed now and I have set it up as an A record pointing to the s5 machine @ 3600IN A 207.158.15.132 mail is a CNAME pointing to s6, though I only use it for http access for my mailing lists: http://mail.szabgab.com/ mail3600IN CNAME s6.hostlocal.com And the MX record looks like this: szabgab.com.3600IN MX 0 s6.hostlocal.com. This works now but it means I'll have more work every time I need to move server and the DNS interface of Godaddy is so slow! Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, it pointed me to the right direction.

DNS is driving me crazy
I am using GoDaddy for domain registration and DNS and I don't seem to be able to set up MX records correctly. I'd like to have www.szabgab.com and szabgab.com to resolve to s5.hostlocal.com while mail.szabgab.com to resolve to s6.hostlocal.com and that all mail sent to @szabgab.com should be processed by s6.hostlocal.com The name resolving works fine but e-mails still go to s5 - the old server. I used to have MX pointing to mail.szabgab.com but it did not work so I changed it and now if I download the zone file it looks like this: www 3600IN CNAME s5.hostlocal.com szabgab.com 3600IN CNAME s5.hostlocal.com @ 3600IN MX 10 s6.hostlocal.com. Is that how it should be? With the trailing . on the MS record ? dig @ns44.domaincontrol.com szabgab.com MX does not seem to show me any MX record Gabor ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Why does it say @ where it's supposed to say mail.szabgab.com? Yes, the trailing dot is supposed to be there - in every record that is not resolved to an IP number but a hostname.

Indeed the @ looks suspicious, unless it says use the previously used domain (whitespace, and not @, in bind's zone files), it might be the cause of the problem. - Oren ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
