But any mail being sent to you right now should be going to: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.mi-server.net. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: mail.mi-server.net. 2385 IN A 83.104.235.34 as long as it answers, regardless of any CNAME oddities. Mail will always use the MX record. I think your real issue is only that your server doesn't know its own name which you can fix as I mentioned in the last message. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
