ddclient zoneedit and MX records


Hi guys

I have ddclient installed on slackware 13.37 64 bit It work and updates

BUT it does not update my MX records , also mail.domain1.co.za and mail.domain2.co.za

it only updates the actual mail.domain1 ,

What else do I need to add to ddclient.conf

My one as it is NOW

daemon=600 # check every 600 seconds
syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
mail=root # mail all msgs to root
mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file.
ssl=no ## use ssl-support. Works with
# ssl-library
##postscript=script # run script after updating. The
# new IP is added as argument.
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address'
server=dynamic.zoneedit.com
protocol=zoneedit1
login=******
password=%^**&^
domain1.co.za, domain2.co.za, mail.domain1.co.za,mail.domain2.co.za,

Regards

Lawrence

Dyndns requires me to enable wildcards at the server end, not in the client configuration file, if I want to use subdomains. Perhaps it's the same with Zoneedit?
