[imp] Re: Remote mail server fix?

[Paul Rentschler]

Joe,

My MX record points to the name mail.mydomain.com then I have CNAME
entries for mail.mydomain.com and webmail.mydomain.com which both
point to the same IP address.

Hopefully that helps. I'm not a whiz at DNS and I'm actually doing my
DNS through my registrar (register.com).
