Help: mail settings on DNS file

[Brian Ventura]

Get rid of the "*." for your MX records
Example:

in.cx.    IN    MX    10 mail.in.cx.
mail.in.cx.    IN    A    1.1.1.1
www.in.cx.    IN    A 1.1.1.2
www.in.cx.    IN    MX 10 mail.in.cx.

the first line "in.cx" matches mail destined for xyz at in.cx, pointing it
to mail.in.cx
the last line "www.in.cx" matches mail destined for xyz at www.in.cx,
pointing it as before

The mail server must be configured to accept mail for both "in.cx" and
"www.in.cx" in my example.
