>Ok kids, Why the condescension, pops? >Re-read my post. I did NOT say to use a CNAME as the MX. I suggested that >you create a CNAME record to point mail.CUSTOMER.com to point to >mail.ISP.net. There ya go, 99% of the people would screw that up, at one step or other. I see it everyday in the ISC BIND list, etc, etc. Technically correct, but in practice it gets screwed up more often than not, zones are in error (non authoritative so higher traffic due to no caching) and sometimes mail isn't even delivered reliably. With the $INCLUDE approach, there is still just one record in one file to edit (just like your suggestion), but my approach avoids the frequently confusing and always higher traffic-producing CNAME of your approach. > Any more objections to my suggestion? There are no objections to your suggestion, there is just my superior suggestion. :)) Len http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com : Binary for ISC BIND 8.2.3 T9B for NT4 & W2K http://IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-spam mail gateways To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
