This is your problem. You cannot reliably deliver mail to a CNAME. In order to reliably deliver mail to 'ruprecht.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de', it must have an A record or an MX record, the target of which has an A record. What I see in DNS is ruprecht.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de. 86400 IN CNAME ma-slave.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de. and ma-slave.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de. 86400 IN A 129.13.253.25 and ma-slave.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de. 86400 IN MX 100 mailin.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de. What you need is ruprecht.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de. 86400 IN MX 100 mailin.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de. and additionally if you need the address ruprecht.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de. 86400 IN A 129.13.253.25 and definitely no CNAME. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
