Chapter 1 Mail Service Setup 21

Configuring DNS for Mail Service

Configuring DNS for mail service is enabling MX records with your own DNS server. If

you have an ISP that provides you with DNS service, you’ll need to contact the ISP so

that they can enable your MX records. Follow these steps only if you provide your own

DNS Service using Mac OS X Server.

To enable MX records:

1 In Server Admin, choose DNS in the Computer & Services list.

2 Click Settings.

3 Select the Zones tab.

4 Select the zone to which the MX record will be added.

If there are no zones, you will need to create one. See the network services

administration guide for more information.

5 Click the Edit (/) button beneath the zone list.

6 Select the Machines tab.

7 Click the Add (+) button beneath the machines list.

8 Enter the mail server’s IP address.

9 Enter the mail server’s hostname.

Beneath the hostname, you’ll see what will be the computer’s Fully Qualified Domain

Name.

10 Click the Add (+) button by the Alias box to add other names for this computer.

Add as many aliases as you want.

11 Check the box labeled “This machine is a mail server of the zone.”

This field is the basis for the computer’s MX record.

12 Set a mail server precedence number.

Mail servers try to deliver mail at lower numbered mail servers first.

13 Enter any information about the computer’s hardware and software in the appropriate

boxes.

14 Enter any comments about the computer in the Comments box.

You can store almost any text string in the comments box. For example, you might

include the physical location of the computer (such as Upstairs server closet B) or the

computer’s owner (such as John’s Computer) or any other information you may want to

keep about the computer.

15 Click OK, and click Save.

If you need to set up multiple servers for redundancy, you’ll need to add additional MX

records with different precedence numbers.
