Hi,

i just had a w2k server and i could create full working domain on it and i use XMAIL for send/receive email which is VERY POOR


i have many other Linux servers ... can i use Linux server to read and send messages for domain in w2k server ?

i think i can .. but what i do for MX record in domain in w2k and what i do for linux server ?

i use Linux with WHM/CPanel

any tips will be thankfull

and piont it to the Linux mail server address EX : mail.domain.com

i understand ..

i should point the MX record in windows to "something" in the Linux server

but what is that "something" ? is it the main server IP ?
i use the main server IP as pop and SMTP server ..
i tried that but mail not recieved in Linux! any idea ..


and if i should point the MX record to mail.domain.com /// what is the domain.com ?
