In order for a mail server to receive mail it has to be defined in two ways in DNS -
with an A record and with an MX
record. An example would be:
A Records
mail.domain.com: 100.100.100.1
bounce.domain.com: 100.100.100.2
MX records:
domain.com: mail.domain.com, priority 10
bounce.domain.com: bounce.domain.com, priority 10
I stuck in the priorities above but they're not that important. The important thing
is that any server that is to
receive SMTP mail from the interenet has to listen on port 25 and has to have these
records.
