i can't ger rid of the www. for the email alias ... the problem i am facing is that i wanted to set up a user qweqewqwe@gossip.com.my and i would like to create email alias for sales, admin to user qweqweqwe ... however when i try to send email to sales@gossip.com.my it wouldn't work but sales@www.gossip.com.my works perfectly. so how do i get rid of the www.?

i am using raq3 and my own dns ... what i setup is

in raq control panel - email server - email parameters :
Relay for the following Hosts/Domains : gossip.com.my
Host/Domain Aliases : gossip.com.my and www.gossip.com.my (if i remove this the email alias doesn't work all together)

in raq control panel - DNS Server :
A record for gossip.com.my to ip address
A record for www.gossip.com.my to ip address
PTR record for ip address to gossip.com.my
MX record for gossip.com.my to www.gossip.com.my

and i use the ip address as the incoming mail server in outlook express.

did i do anything wrong? please help

Instead of: MX record for gossip.com.my to www.gossip.com.my

My MX records says: MX record for gossip.com.my to gossip.com.my

And that works fine for me.

use an the following :

mx mail
* in A 217.67.234.58
mail in A 217.67.234.58
