I am setting up my first listserv and am having difficulties. The client's email is hosted at their site and is set up in the MX record for the top level domain - [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I need to host the listserv on our IMail server (separate from the client's site) and am using the sub-domain [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the address. We have set up the MX record for this and lists.domain.com resolves to the proper IP address on our machine when pinged.
@ MX 10 theirmail.domain.com.
@ MX 20 lists.domain.com.
mail MX 10 theirmail.domain.com.
mail MX 20 lists.domain.com.
lists MX 10 lists.domain.com.
lists MX 20 theirmail.domain.com.
theirmail A ip.theirmail
lists A ip.yourlistbox
There. you've got each mail server providing backup MX for other.
The weird thing is the interaction between the top level domain and the sub-domain. When sending something to lists.domain.com it is returned from the client's email server at domain.com.
spooky
I am assuming this is a routing problem and is somehow tied in with the MX record.
good assumption as any.
Is there anything I need to do in IMail when trying to have regular mail routed to one server while setting up a sub-domain to handle the listserv on another server?
You have created the Imail virtual mailhost "lists.domain.com" ?
