I have a situation where ns2 IN A 1.2.3.4 mail IN CNAME ns2 Then I host some domains for which I am doing MX and in their zone files I have @ IN MX 5 mail.wananchi.com. @ IN NS ns1.wananchi.com. @ IN NS ns2.wananchi.com. @ IN A 62.8.64.4 www IN A 62.8.64.6 Is it wrong to have a CNAME as an MX record? I see things like this in the logs: Aug 17 17:22:39 ns1 named[5896]: "CCL.CO.KE IN MX" points to a CNAME (mail.wananchi.com) Aug 17 17:23:31 ns1 named[5896]: "lesamis-asso.com IN MX" points to a CNAME (mail.wananchi.com) Aug 17 17:24:32 ns1 named[5896]: "bytronics.co.ke IN MX" points to a CNAME (mail.wananchi.com) If that is wrong, then what am I supposed to do?
