I am learning the basics of DNS and am trying to solve a problem with
setting up my email. I have gone through previous posts and the
how-to's but I'm still stumped ...
I am hosting my web site, www.sophoula.com, on my linux box and would
like to use a third party email hosting provider as I am not ready to
run my own mail server. I created a MX record with my email host's
mail server name, ns4.i-mecca.net
I have a dynamic IP so I am using dynamic dns services from
www.dyndns.org
I created a CNAME record for sophoula.com pointing to klym.dyndns.org
My problem is I am unable to send mail to my email accounts,
me at sophoula.com for example. I think the problem is when I send mail
to me at sophoula.com it attempts to send to me at klym.dyndns.org - see the
host query below:
dig sophoula.com mx
;; ANSWER SECTION:
sophoula.com. 85000 IN CNAME klym.dyndns.org.
klym.dyndns.org. 42345 IN MX 10 ns4.i-mecca.net.
host -t mx sophoula.com
sophoula.com is an alias for klym.dyndns.org.
klym.dyndns.org mail is handled by 10 ns4.i-mecca.net.

What am I missing to get the email working properly? Any help is
appreciated.
thx
