Hello, Now that I have my local mail set up, I can let my domain name come up from hiding.
When I run: # hostname -f genex.timothylegg.com and # dig timothylegg.com MX ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;timothylegg.com. IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: timothylegg.com. 9220 IN MX 10 mail.timothylegg.com. My hostname is genex.timothylegg.com on my machine and my MX record points to mail.timothylegg.com I was wondering if the MX record should point to the same name as my hostname. Obviously, this isn't too big of a problem, since my mail works after all. I don't know if this something that I should have corrected or if is it standard as it is? Below is a the untrimmed output of the dig output. Thanks, Tim Legg # dig timothylegg.com MX ; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P1 <<>> timothylegg.com MX ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 30816 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;timothylegg.com.
