I have a domain named example.com
. I want to set two mail servers on this domain.
The main purpose to set these mail servers is to have two different mail server, as if we have two different domains => so it is not one main server and the other one for backup.
An MX
record for domain example.com
is already existing (all mails sent to user@example.com
are delivered to smtp.example.com
), so we have
@ 3600 IN MX 1 smtp.example.com
The A
records are set like this:
@ 600 IN A 12.12.12.12
smtp 3600 IN A 13.13.13.13
relay 3600 IN A 14.14.14.14</pre>
Can we add new MX
records for the second mail server?
For example, we set up a new subdomain relay.example.com
that points to our new mail server (at ip 14.14.14.14
). So that all mail that are sent to user@relay.example.com
will be sent to relay.example.com
.
foo.example.com
can be directed to, and received by, a different server from that which handles email toexample.com
? If so, the answer is yes.
