No, but you do need to configure a dns server entry in config.xml so that the mail server knows whom to contact to lookup MX records. When you tell the mail server to deliver e-mail to jnorment @ soulinstinct.com, the mail server needs to find the MX record for soulinstinct.com. Here is what it looks like if I do it by hand: > set q=mx > soulinstinct.com Non-authoritative answer: soulinstinct.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx2.daemonmail.net soulinstinct.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx3.daemonmail.net soulinstinct.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = mx1.daemonmail.net So I see that you have three possible mail servers of differing priority, each handled by daemonmail.net. Two of them are of equal priority, and probably load balance. The third serves as a backup.
