MX records

sledheadxcr · Feb 17, 2003

I have a functioning MX record for ny Exchange server. I am being told that I also need to put a DNS record out there to point to my Exchange servers host name.

What type of record should this be?

The MX record should point to the domain name of your exchange server. For example, mail.whoever.com.

In turn you should have an A record that resolves the name mail.whoever.com to the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
