Hmm, feeling concerned about my email server by SnappingTurtle2004-12-15 13:15:06

      The MX record is pointing to a CName. by aix tom 2004-12-15 13:42:18
And a cname is not supposed to coexist with anyting else.

If an MX record query returns a CNAME, extra processing is required, and some mail servers may not be able to handle it.

So it seems CNAMEs are prohibited in MX records, according to RFC974, RFC1034 3.6.2, RFC1912 2.4, and RFC2181 10.3.
