Hello Max, If you don't want to run an authoritative DNS server on your VPS, you will have to find somebody who can. Without correctly set up NS servers for your domain, MX won't be possible. If you Google long enought, you will find there are a number of DNS service providers out there that can do it from free to a minimal fee. Running your own auth DNS using Bind or similar is not as difficult as you might think, plenty people here doing just that. +++++++++++++++++ but doesn't that mean running TWO machines? mydomain.com AND smtp.mydomain.com? that immediately doubles my cost, and triples the trouble... I'm hazy enough on the DNS hosts networking thing, now you want me to have a slave server in one domain?? Unless there is a masquerade of which I am unaware...? Help!
