Hi Andy,
my domain registry is with godaddy.com.
They do offer a control panel with lots of different settings. Looks like a
perl script to /etc/ bridge. There are all kinds of CNAME aliases, and I'm not
too sure whether I can/should/ought to delete them because they refer to
machines on secureserver.net, or to replace them with my own virtual addresses,
or some other alternative with less hassle.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Cheers,
Max

Subject: Re: [bitfolk] mx without bind?
Hi,
I have a functional mail server on my new VPS.
Now I want to propagate mydomainname.com to email servers through the MX
record, so that people can find 'me(a)mydomainname.com'com'.
The domain registry has default values of 'mailstore1.secureserver.net' and
'smtp.secureserver.net'.
I would like them to point at my VPS, but am unaware of the correct strings,
which would replace 'mailstore1...' and 'smtp...' above..
I would also like to minimise my sysadmin time, and so would like to avoid to
be forced to use bind etc on my VPS.
Can anyone help? TIA.
Who is your domain registered with?
Some registries will have a control panel where you can set up the MX record. If
this is the case then you can insert the IP address of your VPS as the target of
the MX record and then mail should start getting delivered to port 25 on that
machine.
Regards,
@ndy
