>I have set up my DNS and iMail like you said. It works great. Thanks!
Il n'y pas de quoi, mon p�te.
>But:
>Do I NEED the mail.domain.com??
Just in case, and it can't hurt. Anyway, you need practice on that
W2K DNS GUI!
>Do I NEED an mail.domain.alias in the iMail configuration?
Yes, also for flexibility later. Hey, and I'm not finished!!. For
all your domains, do these A records:
mail.domain.com ; internet sends mail here, so needs A and MX
smtp.domain.com ; your clients send their outgoing mail here
for relaying after SMTP AUTH
pop.domain.com ; they read their mailboxes here with pop3
webmail.domain.com ; they read their mailboxes here with a browser
>If I don;t need it, I can use the mail.domain.com for another purpose (To
>redirect to www.domain.com:8383)
No, use "functional" hostnames like "webmail", and don't overload one
hostname with many functions, because later you can have different
machines per function.
browsers go to port :80 looking for webmail.domain.com, and IIS
redirects to :8383, this is a cool trick that needs to be in the KB
and Imail7 docs. How long have we struggled with this?? I'm sure
Apache can do the same http redirect.
www.domain.com:80 is the http server for the website, A record.
domain.com:80 is the same web server, different host header, A +
MX records.
pop.domain.com:110 A record
smtp.domain.com:25 A record only
mail.domain.com:25 A + MX records
A+
