Webserver Seperate from Email server

Elguapo · 04-06-2005, 10:54 AM

I have two machines acting as servers. One is hosting my apache, mysql, LPS, and coldfusion, and I would like the other to only host my email server. Both are on seperate ipaddress, and my webserver has my domain pointed to it. Do I need to setup a domain network in order to have the email server use the domain name. Or is there another way to set it up.

You will need to set up an A record for the server such as "mail.yourdomain.com" which points to the ip address of your mail server, then set up an MX record for "yourdomain.com" that delivers to "mail.yourdomain.com"
