I misstated myself saying they were separate zones, since to have a zone you need NS delegation records and another zone file. My point, more precisely, was that each hostname on the left side can have its own MX record. IIUC, you need 3 mx's, that point stands, for: officemedic.net lists.officemedic.net mx1.officemedic.net (or mail, if you prefer) > >You should replace this CNAME record with the following, for maximum > >reliability: > > > >lists.officemedic.net. MX 10 lists.officemedic.net. > >lists.officemedic.net. A <IP address of list server> > >(I originally had the A record, your suggestion would add the MX record.) every hostname needs an A record somewhere. you can't have too many MX records.
