You do need a host name for an MX record.  The host name can also be defined
later in the database by a CNAME or an A record.

Subject: [IMail Forum] MX entry question from a newbie


Newbie hoping for some help:

I installed imail on my webserver and made the followign MX record
modifications.

Host Name               Priority                Mailserver
domainname.com  X-Hi            domainname.com
domainname.com  Hi              www.domainname.com

Is the above correct? Or should I use the machine name or IP address for the
Mailserver instead of the domainname?

I made the MX change on Friday and email sent to my domainname addresses are
still bouncing back.

Thanks in advance.

Reid
