Trouble with mx records
Hi
I have a windows 2003 server and one web site and a mail server on it.
I decided to change mail server and after that problems started. I bought my domain from godaddy. On godaddy's domain management section i changed everything about "mail" "mx" to new server's ip, but mails still comming to old mail server.
I'm stuck with this.
Is there any sugessions or an article about that?

If you've pointed the domain to the first server, you will have to tell THAT server about the new mail server.
So go into your windows server, and edit the MX entries there. Not at GoDaddy.

Remove the old Mailing account from your server ,
for example if your domain name is hi.com so remove the hi.com from your old mailing server .www.selectbackup.com

It should be
@ yourdomain.com MX (IP address here)
Don't add www. anywhere or mail. anywhere etc.█ BackupTeddy - Easy Linux Backups

in godaddy i made an mx record
host: @ (old server ip)
points to: mail.domain.com
and on the old server just an mx record points to new ip and thats it.
