MX record problem

zovres · 06-22-2005, 01:46 PM

I'm running a mail server on a Redhat9.0 machine and some mails are rejected because during the transaction certain recipient servers check for my Mail eXchanger to see if it is valid or not (in order to prevent spam).

So I was wondering how I could install an MX on that machine.

Thanks!

Get a MX record to point to your FQDN (fully qualified domain name, something like mail.my-company.com)

Contact the person in charge of your nameserver to request this change.
If that happens to be you, here is what the record looks like in a bind zone file:

Code:

my-company.com.      IN      MX      10 mail.my-company.com.

Nope: You must have a fqdn.
