Invalid MX Records - How to Configure

Post by LastSavingGrace »

Hi Alexander ,

I use MXRoute for my email hosting, so I have to add their MX records. Let's say my domain is 'example.com'. I have added them as per the docs:

Code: Select all

* 86400 MX 10 blizzard.mxrouting.net
* 86400 MX 20 blizzard-relay.mxrouting.net
It works, but when viewing the DNS I see this:

Code: Select all

10   blizzard.mxrouting.net.example.com   No A Record (no glue either)
20   blizzard-relay.mxrouting.net.example.com   No A Record (no glue either)
My domain is attached to the MX record. This is invalid. What I see on my other domains is:

Code: Select all

20   blizzard-relay.mxrouting.net   12.34.56.78 (no glue)
10   blizzard.mxrouting.net   12.34.56.78 (no glue)
Where 12.34.56.78 is obviously my IP address. Can I make a change to the MX records with Keyhelp to achieve this? Or is there another way, maybe via command line?

Thank you.

Hallo,

your simply forgot the closing dot:

Correct would be:

* 86400 MX 10 blizzard.mxrouting.net.
* 86400 MX 20 blizzard-relay.mxrouting.net.

If you forget the closing dot the name of the zone is added to the entry
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
