While there are some reasons this isn't a good idea, it does NOT cause excessive recursion problems in and of itself. It might, if you've not chosen to accept mail for domain.tld or have the website work at domain.tld, but in and of itself, it doesn't matter. All you need is an MX record that points to an A record that points to the box. RaQ users host tens of thousands of domains just the way you've shown, without problems. > BUT > > domain.tld A 111.222.111.222 > www.domain.tld A 111.222.111.222 > domain.tld MX 10 www.domain.tld Absolutely NONE of the domains we've ever hosted have ever pointed MX to www.domain.tld. Why it solved your problem I don't know but I'd guess it has more to what was in the "relay for" windows in Sendmail (which is controlled by setting the RaQ to accept email for a given domain) than anything else.
