Donating MX Entries

123-reg based DNS

Author: N.Johnson2 (25 Jul 07 10:37am)

Hi there. I manage my DNS from 123-reg (or hosteurope.com in some places)

I am able to add A and MX entries, but I can't seem to make it work properly.

I added an A record for my honeypot record that pointed at my host, then I got a bit stuck with the MX part. I only have 2 boxes to manage the entries, a Name and a priority. My existing MX entry is effectivly a fully qualified name for my ISP's mail server.

I didn't want to just add an MX entry that I didn't seem to be able to control via a subdomain (i.e. any mail that says user@mydomain.com go to my proper mail, and anything that goes to user@honeypot.mydomain.com go to the mxmailer)

Anyone else had any experience with 123-reg?

Thanks in advance.
