Your mail can be put in a much more professional manner no? I mean the formatting, thinking on how to ask and so on. It is not true that if you have an A record MX is not needed. It may work due to luck but it is better to stick to standards. Yes, you can point 100 A records to the same IP. If your MX is not setup properly mail will not come even after 1200 hours. ;) Check with mxtoolbox.com -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
