Sifrael, As far as I know, wildcard enties are legal for MX records only in bind 4.9x and 8.x dns specs, e.g.: *.domain.com IN MX 10 mailhost.domain.com. This entry would point all sub-domains to mailhost.domain.com, e.g. marketing.domain.com production.domain.com sales.domain.com We use MetaInfo DNS http://www.metainfo.com which implements Bind 8.x on Windows NT. Did any other list member try if Microsoft NT dns accepts this notation? However, the recommendation is to use straight A-records for mail hosts. Some SMTP servers are unable to send mail to CNAME'd hosts, especially if the CNAME's are chained, e.g. CNAME mailhost.domain.com --> CNAME mail.provider.com --> CNAME smtp.sample.net and so on. Lyris list server is one well-known example featuring this disability. Regards, Marius -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 9.

Not a MX-Record, but something that allows me to use: - www.domain.com - www1.domain.com - www100000.domain.com - whatever.domain.com [snip] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
