The only reason you would need a separate MX record for lists.domain.com (which already has an A record) is if you are using a "wildcard" MX record for domain.com * in mx 10 mail.domain.com. There are a number of good reasons to NOT use wildcard MX records. If you are running a mail server, you should understand the pros and cons. If you are NOT running a wildcard MX listing, an additional MX listing for the list server is superfluous. Unless you want to setup a backup mail exchanger for the list domain. @ in mx 10 mail.domain.com. lists in A 192.168.123.123 or @ in mx 10 mail.domain.com. lists in A 192.168.123.123 lists in mx 10 lists lists in mx 20 mail -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
