Re: OT - Mail header helpFrom: Men & Mice Support Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2000
Time: 6:04:14 pmThe explanation of the disappearance of the MX record is, you have a
load balance record named soletanche.bachy-cimas.com. That's what's
shown below. Load balance records have the same name restrictions as
CNAME records - they can't have the same name as any other record, or
they obliterate that other record.
This will not change in 3.0, though it will change in a later version.
