Here is my situation. I host my site at one of the hosting services. The
domain is o3m.com. For a while we also had a site with the domain of
ais.o3m.com which had it's own mail server. Now I reconfigured DNS so that
the mail to ais.o3m.com gets delivered to o3m.com. Overall, my configuration
file looks like this:
; name servers
o3m.com. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
o3m.com. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.
; owners
o3m.com. IN RP denis.o3m.com. Denis.Voitenko.o3m.com.
Denis.Voitenko.o3m.com. IN TXT "Denis Voitenko, NIC handle:
VD365-ORG"
; the zone itself
o3m.com. IN A 216.71.9.222
; addresses for the canonical names
localhost.o3m.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
; cnames
www.o3m.com. IN CNAME o3m.com.
ftp.o3m.com. IN CNAME o3m.com.
ais.o3m.com. IN CNAME o3m.com.
www.ais.o3m.com. IN CNAME o3m.com.
; mx records
o3m.com. IN MX 10 o3m.com.
o3m.com. IN MX 20 o3m.com.
and while when I send mail from some smtp servers to accounts on ais.o3m.com
the header gets rewritten to o3m.com and mail is delivered, some servers are
still trying to deliver mail to ais.o3m.com. So I am wondering, is the
problem the way some smtp server do lookups or is it that my DNS hasn't
spread over the net yet?
BTW, the o3m.com server is not configured to receive mail for ais.o3m.com.
