Search Again: Re: moving MX record From: Carsten Strotmann Date: Friday, March 5, 2004 Time: 1:48:03 am Hello Mitch, a MX Record entry must point to a name, not to an IP Address. A solution would be to create a Host (A) Record entry for the IP Address 216.120.196.22, like newmail.worldoffloors.com. A 216.120.196.22 and let the MX Record point to this new name: worldoffloors.com. MX 10 newmail.worldoffloors.com.
