David, You create an MX in myotherdomain.net with the value of mail.mydomain.com.
Pointing MX to CNAMES is a bad, but common habit. See Len's DNS info pages for details: http://bind8nt.meiway.com/itsaDNSmess.cfm Marius -----Original Message----- From: David Setzer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 6:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Host alias? Asking? From previous question. Once you have aliasing in Imail (Alias for mydomain.com = myotherdomain.net) how do you setup DNS for myotherdomain.net? Do you CNAME mail.myotherdomain.net to mail.mydomain.com or do you put an MX in myotherdomain.net with the value of mail.mydomain.com?
