When you specify an smtp/pop3 server in outlook, is it looked up via MX instead of A?
Ok something really weird. First time I'm setting up a DNS for mail server, so I do the following:
A Records:
domain.com -> IP
*.domain.com -> IP
mail.domain.com -> IP
MX Record:
domain.com -> mail.domain.com
I can send and recieve mail just fine if I specify domain.com as my pop3/smtp, but if I specify mail.domain.com it says no response from server (even though I can ping mail.domain.com just fine). What is this BS? Or perhaps I'm supposed to specify mail.domain.com in a list of my mail server's local hosts?
