What you need is records like this: Assuming that the site is named "www.domain.com" in the GUI: www.domain.com --- A Record ---> www.domain.com domain.com --- A Record ---> www.domain.com www.domain.com --- MX Record ---> www.domain.com domain.com --- MX Record ---> www.domain.com <IP> --- PTR ---> domain.com That's just the basic records. If you want to use stuff like mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, etc, then you follow the pattern. Righthand side should always be how the domain is named in the GUI - full domain- & hostname, with the exception of the PTR, which usually goes to just the domain-name. For the PTR to work you need "reverse delegation authority" from your IP address range owner anyway. -- With best regards, Michael Stauber7336_2.html (attatchment)(tag is disabled)
