Thanks for the responses. Based on them, the entries for my domain
(iontribe.com) now look like:
iontribe.com A ip address
*.iontribe.com A ip address
mail.iontribe.com CNAME iontribe.com
iontribe.com MX Hi mail.iontribe.com
mail.iontribe.com MX Hi mail.iontribe.com
Is that it?
Thanks,
Reid

The Imail user doc is very good on basic DNS set up. Read that, and also
maybe this:

>I made the MX change on Friday and email sent to my domainname addresses
are

In DNS:
;zone file: db.domain.com
domain.com. MX 10 mail.domain.com.
mail.domain.com. MX 10 mail.domain.com.
domain.com A ip.ad.re.ss
mail.domain.com A ip.ad.re.ss
That's all there iztuit in DNS. btw, 10 is "preference number" not
priority.
In Imail:
mailhost: domain.com
mailhost alias: mail.domain.com
Done.
If you tell us what your mail domain is, we can go have a look at your DNS
setup.
Might also shows you imail\spool\sysMMDD.txt file where mail is bouncing.
ie, sys0813.txt
Oldie hoping this helps.
