Yes, but the downside of useing mail.domain.com is that when i add a user
the reply address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is not the case if I use
domain.com as the official name.

So, why do people always choose mail.domain.com. What is the reason for the
mail.??

Hi,

In all examples I see that iMail uses mail.domain.com as the Official Host
name.

Is it a problem if I use domain.com as my official host name? This way there
is no [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the reply address. Now it is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I use domain.com as the OHN, do I still need a "mail" host in the DNS?
