RE: [IMail Forum] Help with mail being REJECTED.

#1) NEVER use a CNAME for an MX record! This is against the RFC's   It should be something like this (at least with BIND, I'm not sure what you're using...)   mail1    IN A 24.181.209.45  IN MX 20 mail1.mydomain.com mydomain.com IN A 24.181.209.45   or something similar. That MAY be what's causing your problem, but I'm not sure. -----Original Message----- From: Jaymes Home [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 4:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Help with mail being REJECTED.
