DNS Help with sub sub domain names

  • 772

I am not sure I even did this right, but I am trying to setup some sub domains with email services. So I want to have an email address like [email protected]. My problem is getting put in right. I am not sure I did.

$ORIGIN phxscouting.com.

    You specified "$ORIGIN phxscouting.com." at the top of the file, which means the name server will append "phxscouting.com." to the end of every entry following in the file that isn't terminated with a period.

    So as you currently have it specified, the first MX line

    227.phxscouting.com 3600 IN MX 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

    will actually refer to a mail address of "[email protected]". You instead should specify the line as

    227 3600 IN MX 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

    or

    227.phxscouting.com. 3600 IN MX 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

    which would match "[email protected]".

  2. It's not necessary to specify each time a TTL of 3600, it's already your default value because your default entry : $TTL 3600
