IN MX 10 mail.example.net. does making these all CNAME to example.com. fix the host not found? sometimes CNAMEs pointing at CNAMEs which point at A records confuse resolvers. this is really a DNS question, best answered on a DNS list. feel free to contact me off-list if you want some more help... cheers marty -- "Nod.
