MX Record

[conjurben]

Hi,

how would I change an MX Record? Please be specific!

Thanks!

If you are running BIND, open named.conf. The location of this file varies dependent on where you told BIND to install initially. I think it defaults to /etc/named.conf on Linux. Open that file search for the domain you want to change the MX record for. For example the domain is listed in "zone" and "file" is the record for that domain. Close named.conf and open the path listed beside the "file". There should already be an MX record of the form:

IN MX 10 mail.blah.com
or

@ IN MX 10 mail.blah.com

Just change "mail.blah.com" to whatever you want the mail server to be for that particular domain. If there is no MX record,
just add it.
