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

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.
