Just the A record. Using the MX record would be wrong; MX is to answer the question "how do I deliver mail to someone in the domain 'foo.com'". It's possible that the server that the MX record leads you to will only accept mail addressed to local recipients. > Are there any plans > to use sendmail's MSA (mail submission agent) port? Not currently. The Internet Draft that that's based on has expired anyway... You can override the port yourself though by specifying "smtp.foo.com:587" as the hostname in the mail config dialog. -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
