Yes, you need an A record at the place that hosts the DNS info for
your real world domain.

Study your result versus the second example. In the second example is
not quite like yours in that they have a number of mail servers with A
records. Your should have just one A record listed.

Ok so I created MX record at my ISP as.
0 @ mail.expressmortgageservice.com 3600 (0 is priority, @ is host,
mail.expressmortgageservice.com is where it goes to, and 3600 is 1 hour)
this mail.expressmortgageservice.com is the same domain i created in sbs as
E-Mail domain.
Do I also need to create an A record ? how is the STATIC IP attached to
mail.expressmortgageservice.com ?
there were also these 2 following MX records at my ISP.
10 @ smtp.secureserver.net 3600 (this smtp.secureserver.net is what I used
to put in POP3 SMTP server)
20 @ mailstore1.secureserver.net 3600 (don't know anything about this)
please Help

Hi
This was introduced in another thread and I am told to create new one just
for this issue.
this is what I have...
sbs 2003 standard, 2 nics, 1 router, 5 Static IPs, sbs is DHCP server.
everthing is working fine, internet, internal network, RWW via Static IP etc.
I am trying to setup Exchange now for email so users can send/rec. emails
using outlook through Exchange server.
company's website is hosted by godaddy (public domain is
www.expressmortgageservice.com). the SMTP is SMTP.secureserver.net (godaddy)
in CEICW i have created the certificate as
office.expressmortgageservice.com and an E-Mail domain as
mail.expressmortgageservice.com
The objective here is to enable Exchange to fetch all email from my ISP
(godaddy) and distribute it locally to appropriate boxes.
Now my question is what needs to be created at my ISP (A record? / MX
record?) what should I change in sbs ? what info would I need to create MX
record ?
using above information (public domain, local E-mail domain, Certificate
etc.), please advise in details the process that needs to take place for this
to work. I would appreciate if you can use the real domain names provided
above in your solution/advise
===========================================
following is an analysis of my domain done by SuperGumby [SBS MVP]:
"Existing names in the domain need to be considered.
mail.expressmortgageservice.com. is currently a CNAME for
pop.secureserver.net but does not appear when I query DNS on the base
domain. Two MX records exist:
expressmortgageservice.com. 3600 MX 0 smtp.secureserver.net.
expressmortgageservice.com. 3600 MX 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.
Mail is currently being handled by secureserver.net servers. I believe this
is GoDaddy and they will be supplying POP boxes. GoDaddy may be using
mail.fqdn internally so it is best that it stay as is for now.
IF the OP wishes to change to mail being handled via SMTP to the server he
will also need MX record changes, as MX records control email, and only
email, handling.
