Hello helpful wizards:

I am confused. I have decided to use register.com for DNS on most of my domains (for sake of system resources - see "Is my server a DOG?".

Set up A records for mydomain.com
*.mydomain.com ====> IP
www.mydomain.com ====> IP

Went to set up MX record and it didn't allow me enough characters to use just mydomain.com as the mail server. But if I just put "pop" in the MX field, it shows my MX server a pop.mydomain.com.

In the email CP on my RaQ I just have mydomain.com as the mail server name. No hostname.

Do I need a C record for pop.mydomain.com, or will the wildcard in the A record send the mail requests to mydomain.com?

Thanks,

Mark

Have you tried

"@ MX 10 www"

"pop in CNAME www"

Also, maybe add

"www in A Record <ip address>"

We add A records we need (webmail, CP, support, etc...) Then we also add a wildcard. Who knows if it is correct, but it works.

You can have the MX record point to your www.mydomain.com.

mydomain.com MX www

If you use pop.domain.com for your MX, you must put A record for pop.domain.com

mydomain.com MX pop.mydomain.com
pop.mydomain.com A ip


If your sitename is www.mydomain.com, you must also put this as an email server in the email CP. If not, all emails will bounce back to sender. I had this problem on my Raq4 before.
