Marc, the output of


host -t mx mydomain.com


mydomain.com mail is handled by 10 mail.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com mail is handled by 10 mail.mydomain.com.mydomain.com.

These are the DNS records:


A mail 111.222.67.237 0
A ns1 111.222.67.237 0
A www 111.222.67.237 0
A mydomain.com. 111.222.67.237 0
MX mydomain.com. mail.mydomain.com. 10
NS mydomain.com. ns1.mydomain.com. 0


[to saveguard from spammers/hackers, i changed my IP address ]

And you are surev that this is the authoritive dns server for the domain?

[merida]

indeed, it was not the authorive server.

thx to the suggestions of Mark, the problem is solved now.

I can't help feeling you've gone about this the wrong way. When adding dns records just use the wizard and do not add www in the soa. Then when adding the site, again, don't add www but do add *. in the subdomain field.

Works for me everytime
