Title: Official host name, MX and A records

Yes, for now. There might come a time where Anti-spam software will require the server name (issued in the HELO/EHLO) to match the DNS name but I hope not as that will break a lot of things.   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharyn Schmidt To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 7:05 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Official host name, MX and A records Hi, Quick DNS 101 question concerning official host name in IMAIL vs MX and A records in DNS� Currently�. Official host name in IMAIL: todhunter.com In the todhunter.com zone: MX record points to  10 mail.todhunter.com A record point to 24.73.160.163. I now change the OHN in Imail to cruzan.com In the cruzan.com zone I have the same MX and A as I did in the todhunter.com zone Is this ok? In other words, can I change the official host name in IMAIL without changing any dns records, other than adding them to the new zone? Thanks, Sharyn
