Hi,
Here is what I'm trying to do:
My mail server is mailserver.domain.com with IP 111.111.111.111
In domain.com, I have the following records:
A mailserver.domain.com 111.111.111.111
MX 10 mailserver.domain.com
This works, no problems here.
I set up a second domain (second.com) and set up the MX record for second.com like so:
MX 10 mailserver.domain.com
I did not make another A record for second.com thinking that pointing the MX record to mailserver.domain.com should work.
I don't receive any emails to second.com using that set up.
However, when I do the following, it works:
A mail.second.com 111.111.111.111
MX 10 mail.second.com
My goal is to only change the MX entry of second.com to "mailserver.domain.com" and make it work. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Chris
