Title: SME to use domain name for email server but not web server
Post by: tog on March 15, 2006, 08:19:01 PM
Hello all,

Let's say I have example.com.  I already have a web server for example.com configured very specifically.  I also have an SME server.

I installed SME and told it to use example.com so I'd get email on that domain.  I would like all LAN clients to use SME for dns.  Of course example.com resolves to my SME server's ip address, not the web server's.  mail.example.com is correctly pointing to the SME server and the MX record is in place.

How can I have SME receive email for example.com, but have example.com resolve in dns to my web server?

I could add entries in SME for all my sub-domains that the web server uses but that's messy and duplicated.
